After LL/CL leaves only black,

Look at the 4 in r17:
Its range is currently [c12-17]. However, if it were to go in c14-17, then it would trigger the 3 in c16, which would trigger the 2 in r15. That is a conflict in c17.
Therefore the 4 cannot go into c17 and so r17c13 must be black
LL

Distant EL 3 r22 (vs r25) = c1-4 w
LL
DEL 3 r23 (vs r26) = c1-4 w
DEL 3 r24 (vs r27) = c1-4 w
LL to finish
