				I decided to implement Remote Pair as an XY-Chain for each candidate value. Then manually merge the results. When's the last time you encountered an 8-cell Remote Pair that's a single-stepper?

 # 58 eliminations remain
 
 
 RP <56>: r1c35 + r2c59 + r35c7 + r57c8  =>  r7c3<>56

I don't know if I've ever had one. If my grid was the same, I obviously missed it or maybe just didn't look past the first three 56 cells that I saw. |
