There may be a better solution.
I have to settle for 5 steps | Code: |
+-----------------+----------------------+---------------------+
| 6 a24 1245 | 9 25-4 2357-4| 135 8 2357 |
| 3 8 259-4|d245 1 2457 | 59 579 6 |
| 59 7 1259 | 235 8 6 | 4 1359 2359 |
+-----------------+---------------------+----------------------+
| 49 3 6 | 25 259 1 | 7 459 8 |
| 2 1 8 | 7 459 45 | 359 6 359 |
| 7 5 49 | 38 6 38 | 2 49 1 |
+-----------------+---------------------+----------------------+
| 8 b24 2345 |c2456 7 245 | 13569 1359 359 |
| 45 6 2345 | 1 245 9 | 8 357 357 |
| 1 9 7 | 568 3 58 | 56 2 4 |
+-----------------+---------------------+----------------------+
|
Step 1: (4)r1c2 = r7c2 - r7c4 = (4)r2c4 => - 4r2c3,r1c56
| Code: |
+----------------+-------------------+---------------------+
| 6 24 1245 | 9 25 2357 | 135 8 2357 |

| 1 9 7 | 568 3 58 | 56 2 4 |
+----------------+-------------------+---------------------+
|
Step 2: (5=4)r8c1 - r8c5 = (4-9)r5c5 = r4c5 - r4c1 = (9)r3c1 => - 5r3c1
| Code: |
+----------------+---------------------+--------------------+

|
Step 3: (5=4)r5c6 - r5c5 = r8c5 - r8c3 = r7c2 - (4=2)r1c2 - (2=5)r1c5 => - 5r1c6,r45c5

| 1 9 7 | 568 3 58 | 56 2 4 |
+-----------------+-------------------+--------------------+
|
Step 4: (2=4)r7c2 -((4)r7c4,(4=2)r1c2))- ((2=5)r2c3,(4)r2c4)) - (45=972)r2c786 => - 2r7c6

| I must have spent the better part of a day on this one! I eventually came up with a one-stepper - but I would NOT consider it 'better' than Clement's or Tom's solutions! That was a real tough one for me! |
