458xyzwing@R7C2, -4R8C2

Early Earl

PS
The above worked the first time, but on retry, I needed two xywings:
348xywing@R3C1, -3R2C7 and 134xywing@R3C3, -3R5C4.
Sorry if I misled anyone. Senior moment!

No worries at all! We’ve been on this board a long time and seen a few….some junior moments too!

Just looking at Mogulmeister's grid, there was just one oversight. With the 3 already placed in r3c7, this makes r2c7<>3(=4!). And r3c45<>3 as well.

Here is a revised after basics grid:

Code:

+----------+-------------+-----------+
| 14 13 5  | 34  8   2   | 7 9   6   |
| 9  38 2  | 6   137 157 | 4 15  58  |
| 48 7  6  | 45  14  9   | 3 125 258 |
+----------+-------------+-----------+
| 3  6  7  | 2   9   4   | 5 8   1   |
| 5  4  9  | 38  13  18  | 2 6   7   |
| 18 2  18 | 7   5   6   | 9 4   3   |
+----------+-------------+-----------+
| 2  58 48 | 1   47  57  | 6 3   9   |
| 7  15 14 | 9   6   3   | 8 25  245 |
| 6  9  3  | 458 2   58  | 1 7   45  |

Now the one step solution becomes the XY-Wing: 1/4/3 in r1c4,r35c5=>r2c5,r5c4<>3.

That's better - thanks Immp! Sorry folks! Posted it slightly undercooked. As you say Immp - no need now for the first XY I suggested.

Mogulmeister, your initial post and solution is perfectly correct, confusion arises from the first grid showing r3c7 as <3> and not <34>

Yes - a mispost of the grid. That or fat finger syndrome.

...all adds a bit of colour. Perhaps I was subconsciously remembering a post here from 2011:

It's been a while - but out of curiosity I revisted this forum and was interested in the comments about declining interest.

For a few years I was an avid participant of the sudoku forums.
I can recall my banters with other posters such as Nataraj and Asellius where solving problems would lead to discussions on Austrian wine or American beer. There was a social context to the forum.

But then the VH forums seemed to lose sociabilty - to the point where the regular posts now seem to consist of one regular guy revealing an xy wing.

Here, I think is what I should have posted with the <34> pair at r23c7 still intact.

Code:

+--------------+---------------+--------------+
| 14  13  5    | 34  8    2    | 7   9   6    |
| 9   38  2    | 6   1347 157  | 34  15  58   |
| 48  7   6    | 345 134  9    | 34  125 258  |
+--------------+---------------+--------------+
| 3   6   7    | 2   9    4    | 5   8   1    |
| 5   4   9    | 38  13   18   | 2   6   7    |
| 18  2   18   | 7   5    6    | 9   4   3    |
+--------------+---------------+--------------+
| 2   58  48   | 1   47   57   | 6   3   9    |
| 7   15  14   | 9   6    3    | 8   25  245  |
| 6   9   3    | 458 2    58   | 1   7   45   |
+--------------+---------------+--------------+


Now the search for the single step can resume ?

Ahh, yes. That's what it should look like after basics. And one needs the two XY-Wings to solve using the VH skills.

I've found over the years with sudoku that there are many ways to skin a grape

For those that are offended by this phrase I apologise and confirm that I am a great lover of the grape
