X-Windoku grid of interest / Rating, solving bug in an X-Windoku #111

Closed 1to9only closed 3 years ago

This SukakuExplainer (private build, version 1.17.11) solves this X-Windoku incorrectly, and chokes up...

.......1.....2...3.........4....3.......5...6....1.........78......6........32... ED=20.0/9.4/2.9

1to9only's SukakuExplainer rating (private build, version 2021.6.17):

.......1.....2...3.........4....3.......5...6....1.........78......6........32... ED=9.6/9.4/2.6

I've looked at SukakuExplainer' solution path, and it goes wrong at step 64:

4.3, Grouped 2 Strong links 101: Cell r9c7,r7c9,r7c5,r1c5 on value 4: r1c6<>4

It removes candidate 4 from r1c6, when it is the cell solution.

If you disable the 'Skyscraper, Kite, Turbot' solving technique, the X-Windoku solves OK, X-Windoku rating: ED=9.6/9.4/2.6. From the command line, specify: --techs=1111111111010111011011111011100111100111111111

This bug should really take priority as I can't tell if it has only a limited effect or not. This example aided with the GUI at the incorrect step should highlight where the logic goes wrong and hopefully target the code
