This orange is originally from Sicily and is less acidic than other varieties. But I'm especially fond of Cara Cara oranges, blood oranges, Meyer lemons, clementines and pink grapefruit.īlood orange: A sweet-tart orange with bright, deep red or red-streaked flesh. Sunny lemons, verdant limes, rosy grapefruits, glowing oranges, clementines, satsumas, other mandarins, tangerines. Sweet and tart - some indisputably tarter than others - citrus brightens everything it touches. To brighten things up, there's no better flavor for baking than citrus. Go figure.The days may be getting longer (by mere seconds) but we're still deep in the dark days of winter. Basically the same thing as the other "almosts", yet I can't accept the almost NPs. Just a Forcing Chain that I used based on an "almost" pattern. Obviously a 5 or 6 is needed so I go on a fishing expedition to see what each one reels in. Let me admit to the world that I am a hypocrite on this issue. Now grouped kites I do think are a bona fide distinguishable move. As far as I can see "grouped" skyscrapers never do that. Personally I'm happy for anyone to use any name that is understandable - but for me a skyscraper is distinguished from its x-wing/sashimi/finned cousins by making an at least potential elimination on both "sides" of the strong links. All it says is that "in this pattern, these cells act together". To a pattern guy like me, a little suspect. It's a Sashimi X-Wing with double fin per Sudopedia.ĭo I have to know that for the final exam?Īnd, let me add, I am sort of with you on this "almost" or "finned" thing. In the same vein, if I had been looking for an ER (and if it applied in the pattern above) I'd call it that. (Yes, I know, someone will point out it is a finned sashimi kraken franken something.)Īs I said, I used the name because it is descriptive of how I found it. The pattern above is not a finned X-wing. X can be eliminated in the cells marked ^, in any cell that sees all the # cells. ^ Cells where candidate X can be eliminated (Full disclosure: I stopped looking for fish other than X-wings a long time ago.) Once I figured out grouped coloring, I stopped looking for finned fish. I use that name because that is how I see it. Doing the puzzle on paper, and looking at the nataraj diagram for (4), I'd use both the kite AND the m-wing (6) based on the same strong link (cand 4) in row 9 that forms the kite, and never need the xyz-wing. Helmut's Sudoku Helper suggests a kite (4), then an xyz-wing. So I kinda thought let the puzzles stand on their own, beauty (or ugliness) lies in the eye of the beholder. which of the November puzzles I thought would be the most interesting) when I was completely blown away by the ingenious ways people here (including yourself, Marty, Danny and other regulars) were solving the puzzles in completely different ways from what I expected. I'm probably missing something, but do we need this terminology? This looks like a Finned X-Wing that happens to have two fins, but still a Finned X-Wing.Īh, now that you mention it, Keith, I was in fact almost ready to comment on some of the puzzles (e.g. a w-wing did it for me, admittedly with a simple transport. I hope that Nataraj might occasionally comment on puzzles like these: What solution path did he contemplate? This was my toughest challenge yet on Nataraj's puzzles. You didn't refer to me as "Multi-step Marty" for nothing. But my 5th move was an ER which opened things up for three easy finishing moves. I used eight steps, a little of everything, or so it seemed. I think I'm up with the Susser in the complexity. Play this puzzle online at the Daily Sudoku site Sudoku Susser insists this is more complicated than I found it.
