Re: Need help with a Sudoku
Solution (using forcing chains twice, rows are A-J and colums 1-9):
<font color="white"> 1) No matter what cell J1 is, cell D7 must be a 5 and cell E9 must be a 7. This is almost immediate in the case of a 5 and only very slightly longer in the case of a 4. 2) You can use this to solve cells C7, C8, J7, J8 immediately. 3) Cells D4,D5,D6 become a 679 triple 4) Cells F4,F5,F6 become a 258 triple 5) Cell F2 and C2 are now a 47 double 6) Cells B5,D5,I5 are a 479 triple 7) No matter what cell I5 is, cell D1 must be a 4. If I5 is a 9, then J1 is a 5 making D1 the only 4 in the column. If I5 is a 4, then J4 is a 9, so B4 is an 8, making B1 a 1 so D1 is a 4. After that the puzzle solves itself like a regular sudoku. </font> |
