I have just solved Regular Samurai #16A (Apprentice). A nice and relaxing puzzle. Perhaps a little bit too relaxing for my personal taste. |

Well, crud! I got through almost all of the master-level puzzle but got stuck on grid #1 (everything else is solved). Sudocue is insisting that the grid can't be solved with the techniques I know (up to X-wing/Swordfish), and suggests a 2-string kite. I have no idea how to do those. Is this puzzle not solvable without this or another advanced move? |

Three posts above, I have posted a mini-mini Walktrough with images, which shows that either a "Y-Wing" or an "XY-X-Chain" is needed to solve grid #1.The suggested "2-string kite" is a red herring and will get you nowhere! |

I guess I'll have to put this one in my "wait until I learn more techniques" pile, then. It was all going so well, too, until I got to that point. I think Y-wing is coming up soon, though (working my way through Tom Davis' tutorial), so maybe I won't have to wait too long to finish this one.

So far so good, but I'm evidently missing the logic. I have: R4C5: 5 6 7 R4C8: 5 7 R8C5: 6 7 R6C8: 5 7 but I'm not seeing the elimination. |

4. Look for a cell seen by R4C5 with only two possible digits, one of them being the digit 7, and the other one the digit Z. 5. Look for a cell seen by R4C8 with only two possible digits, one of them being the digit 7, and the other one the digit Z. 6. See if you now can eliminate the digit Z from one or more cells. The cells you are looking for: Can you see the elimination(s) now? |
