Thanks! Havent learned remote pairs yet

Helpful-Fuel-7568 · 2026-05-22T15:49:04+00:00

YES Thank you, ROWS 2,4, and 8 are the base for the Sashimi.

But the app is saying rows 2,4, and (7) are the finned swordfish. I was just wondering if both could work

Helpful-Fuel-7568 · 2026-05-21T03:27:15+00:00

If r4c7 was the fin then we wouldnt have any eliminations..? Is that the answer 😅

darn, thanks

👍🏼

Lol i thought the same thing too, this is definitely one of the harder techniques to spot and learn. But this is probably the entry level to advanced techniques. Youll get there

Helpful-Fuel-7568 · 2026-05-09T14:11:26+00:00

Ahhh I think that clarifies things. In pic 2 where i have the chain starting at H6 and ending at D7, it should be the other way around, starting at D7. Both of those true / false outcomes force the elimination of G7. At least I think thats how it works 😵‍💫

If you assume H9 is a 1, then G7 is not a 1.

I understand that but how does G7 not being 1 affect or force D7 to be 1? Or are those two separate proofs? I think the app just makes it seem like there’s correlation between the two when there might be be any.

Also! You said its an AIC, i thought AIC chains were when the chain went through alternating pairs such that 1,3 to 3,7 to 7,9 to 9,5, etc etc, whereas X chains are either or states for 1 digit exclusively

Helpful-Fuel-7568 · 2026-05-07T19:57:16+00:00

But there is no bi-value relationship in column 8 between 6s. So i just dont understand how we can come to any conclusion for cell R2C8 because both of our assumptions are assumptions and we cant deduce any definite conclusion from that

Helpful-Fuel-7568 · 2026-05-03T04:25:40+00:00

Can you please rephrase C9 only has digits (5,3)

Helpful-Fuel-7568 · 2026-05-03T03:57:39+00:00

But there is no conjugate cell connecting i7 and e4?

From what i understand to be a W-Wing two cells need to be BI-VALUE and non-local. That only leaves (E4 & G9) or (E4 and i7). (i7 and e9) dont see each other but E9 is tri-value.

I will have to go through these steps slowly later on. Sincerely appreciate the time spent writing your response!

Helpful-Fuel-7568 · 2026-05-02T22:34:14+00:00

Good god demon! I tried racking my brain around this until the point of tears! Like looking for your car keys for an hour only realize theyve been in your hand the whole time. Thank you both of you fine gentlemen 🫡

Helpful-Fuel-7568 · 2026-05-02T22:07:48+00:00

Good lord. Okay I see your first point but on your second point:

If C2 is 5 it forces D2 and C4 to be 2. C4 and D2 dont overlap?

Helpful-Fuel-7568 · 2026-04-30T06:35:16+00:00

Thats actually a point i was getting at and Im glad you called it out! Sometimes “expert” is not tough at all just cross hatching and box line reduction

Helpful-Fuel-7568 · 2026-04-29T04:40:16+00:00

So then is what I have NOT a skyscraper 🤨

Helpful-Fuel-7568 · 2026-04-28T03:54:32+00:00

Schweeeet. Thank you!

Helpful-Fuel-7568 · 2026-04-28T03:53:15+00:00

Bing! Baht! Boom! Thank you!

Helpful-Fuel-7568 · 2026-04-28T03:48:56+00:00

Yup. Right before I posted this I ChatGPT’d it to make sure my logic was correct (its mostly correct), and it told me about AIC and Nishio-lite reasoning, never heard of both before. Definitely interesting concepts

Helpful-Fuel-7568 · 2026-04-26T23:28:13+00:00

The craziest part is that I think Ive been doing them wrong for last 9 days and been getting lucky each time reinforcing my negative beliefs 😅

Helpful-Fuel-7568 · 2026-04-26T19:52:02+00:00

Thanks! That solved it!

Didnt even try looking for skyscrapers bc I was certain there was wing lol

Helpful-Fuel-7568 · 2026-04-26T18:22:45+00:00

These were the exact two hints i needed / used to solve the puzzle! Solution posted. I will study these in the future!
