A General Logic for Sudoku Golden Nugget |
Elimination 39 Elimination 39 has the following set logic interpretation. A, the logic is rank 1 with 6 sets and 7 linksets, which would need 2 overlap linksets for elimination. B, the linkset triplet at 4r2c7 raises the rank in the upper (digit 2) level to 0. C, the set triplet at 2r2c7 then lowers the rank back to 1 except along its minor branch, row set 2r2, which is still rank 0 (black highlight) and eliminates candidate 2r2c5 (orange).
