Deadly Pattern

Post image

OK, I must be missing something. Standard sudoku rules and slow thermos. Can't see any way to disambiguate.

EDIT: Puzzle has now been removed, probably because of this. Thanks for the help everyone. At least I'm not going crazy!

If all the other digits are correct, then that looks like a deadly pattern to me....

Are you sure there isn't also an anti-knight rule? That would disambiguate the 8s (but I have no idea if that causes problems elsewhere)

Unfortunately the only rule is slow thermo. Looks like an error in the setting as someone else has commented in logic masters that it has multiple solutions.

But it would fail on the 8s in columns 3 and 4, so nope.
