#55 Figures Sudoku
Hi Bastien.A very nice sudoku.I have solved it. I was seeing how the top players had solved it on sudokucup.I could not understand some of the deductions that they made very early in the solve which i could get only rather deep into my solve.
ReplyDeleteFor example after the following steps
i)19 in boxes 4&6
ii)195 in boxes 3&7
and then after a few more steps they deduced that 6 is in R3C4.6 can also be in R2C4 right (inside the figure)?Even after a deep thought i could not conclude how they could place that and similarly after placing 6 in R3C4 they narrowed down 5 to one of 2 cells R2C6/R3C6.5 may also be in R2C4 right?
I would be very grateful if you could help me clear these logical blocks.
Hi again. So, about putting a 6 in R3C4 (and similarly, a 4 in R7C6): actually, this can be done right at the beginning. You first need to notice the curious shape of the two dotted areas in the central vertical block (boxes 258); this shape was chosen on purpose, because I had a very precise idea of what I wanted to do here. Look at cells R4C4, R4C5 and R5C4: obviously, their content cannot be the same as the one of R5C6, R6C5 and R6C6, so, due to Figures Sudoku rule, they have to correspond to R7C5, R8C5 and R8C6. Also, R5C6, R6C5 and R6C6 correspond to R2C4, R2C5 and R3C4. If you followed me, you now know why R3C4 is the only cell that can accept a 6 in box 2, and R7C6 the only one convenient to the 4 in box 8 (and you can extend that to the 5).
ReplyDeleteBut there are more things you can deduce from these shapes. Look closely at R4C5: it has to contain the same digit as one of the cells from the second shape. Which one must it be? Now, using this combined with the 6 we put in box 2, you can find a third cell which content will have to be the same as the one of these two...
