x wing 7
xy wing 159

If I post too early it might look as if I've cheated the computer's midnight. But I'm near the early edge of the International Date Line and all I have to do is solve a puzzle in the wee hours.

Forgive me- I get the same result and the x wing on 9 as quoted but can't find the 15 to make up a 159 xy wing. There is a kind of x wing 579 with pivot at r5c5 that leads to a 5 at r4c4 but for me no obvious continuation
HELP

The X-Wing takes out a 9 from r8c2, which then becomes the XY-Wing pivot.

Thanks Marty -Just after posting my problem I realised I had serviced only half of the X wing. and of course correcting that gives a direct solution.

BUT is the kind of XY that Idescribed andlead to the 5 at r4c4 classified as an XY wing and if not how is it described?

George,

I'm sorry, but I just don't know what combination of cells constitute what you're asking about. This is the grid after the X-Wing is executed.

Code:

+--------------+-------------+-------------+
| 4579 59 4579 | 2    6  49  | 1    3  8   |
| 149  19 3    | 49   8  5   | 6    2  7   |
| 8    2  6    | 7    1  3   | 59   4  59  |
+--------------+-------------+-------------+
| 459  8  459  | 59   3  6   | 7    1  2   |
| 157  6  157  | 8    79 2   | 34   59 34  |
| 579  3  2    | 159  4  179 | 8    6  59  |
+--------------+-------------+-------------+
| 2    4  19   | 139  5  8   | 39   7  6   |
| 3    15 8    | 6    79 147 | 2    59 14  |
| 6    7  159  | 1349 2  149 | 3459 8  134 |

XY (nearly 597)

Take the pivot at r5c5 If 7 the pair of 15s in Block 4 denaies 5s to top row in that block OR if 9 then same row of block 4 is denied 5 ergo r4c4 is 5

George,

I am hardly an expert on such things, but that might be an XY-Wing with r5c13 being a pseudo cell, i.e., the two cells act as one 57 pincer. Then you would treat it as an XY-Wing=>r4c13<>5 rather than having to look at each value of r5c5.

If by any chance Keith sees this, he'll be able to give the final word.
