| UR Type 1 (46) in r15c46 taking out 46 in r1c4 solves the puzzle. |

Sort of why the USA got to the moon: The USA's German rocket scientists were better than the Soviet's German rocket scientists.
I suppose the Canadians' NHL hockey players are better than the USA's NHL hockey players.

Using logic I got down to this position.
| Code: |
73 8
9738 64
537
9 1387 2
827 5 931
36 1928 7
73869
69 2417 3
1 573
|
A sweep showed nothing obvious. A hint gave 5 in r1c7. Why?
The site states that only logic is required to solve these puzzles, but I can't see
how they came up with that hint. Can anyone suggest why?
Regards,
Mick

This is Mick's grid after an auto-sweep.
| Code: |
+--------------+-----------+--------------+
| 7 3 2456 | 469 12 46 | 125 159 8 |
| 25 15 9 | 7 3 8 | 125 6 4 |
| 24 148 2468 | 469 12 5 | 3 7 29 |
+--------------+-----------+--------------+
| 9 45 1 | 3 8 7 | 456 2 56 |
| 8 2 7 | 46 5 46 | 9 3 1 |
| 3 6 45 | 1 9 2 | 8 45 7 |
+--------------+-----------+--------------+
| 245 7 3 | 8 6 9 | 1245 145 25 |
| 6 9 58 | 2 4 1 | 7 58 3 |

Hello mickfarmer, welcome to the forum!
You did all the basic steps that are possible, the grid is right after basics. A "VH" step is needed.
There is an x-wing (5) in rows 6 and 8.
It takes out three candidates: 5 in r1c8, r1c3, r7c8.
The resulting box / line interaction (5 in row 2 confined to cols 1 and 2) removes 5 from r2c7, which then leaves a hidden single 5 in r1c7. |

Interesting. That may be what Sam had in mind, but nobody who posted used it. |

Hm, dunno what Sam had in mind, maybe it's just one of the "vh" moves his program recognizes. I did in fact use that x-wing in solving the puzzle. Some days I start looking for xy wings first, some days I look at individual candidates, a.k.a. "color"ing. Seems I did the Feb 28 vh on a colorful day  |

I suppose that is the difference between a Canadian and an American, at least as far as hockey goes. There was no way that I could do a Sudoku while watching that Game! I was so happy when Team Canada won!  ( I did it later, still so excited that I can't remember how I solved it)
