Have a wonderful day/night, everyone!

Man made of metal makes magnificent monument. One of Sue's I suspect.

A closer shoot was needed in order to see more of the statue. However the idea is very good

Sage advice from a man from the land of magnificent statues!

I think the word "magnificent" is appropriately used here. I agree that it needs to be closer, and we need some measure of scale as well. Then we need some large equipment to move it to my farm.

Judy, I'm waiting for your comment about the large equipment ...

I don't think I want to hear this...

I was referring to a front-end loader, Hal--what did you think I meant?

31:44 (ouch!) Gorgeous statue! And Oklahoma is about as far from the sea as you can get, so no song today...

whatever Cathy from Ontario! hahaha

18:24 to you all.

I love the way this statue appears to be sitting out in the wild - so cool...nice picture whoever submitted it.

That's exactly what I thought you meant, Cathy. A front-end loader.

I never thought that talk of heavy equipment would be a turn-on ...

Great photo! Is it Sue/OK's?

Most of these steps are in no particular order.... Not my best work...... Low se rating, but the path I found is a bit too long and deep
1) start 22 up 24
2a) (hp15)i9g7 => i9<>239, g7<>2469
2b) (hp38)di2 => d2<>59, i2<>25
2c) (hp47) a1c3 => More...

Hi All, Have been gone all day. Yes, this is mine. As for getting closer no way. We were stopped in the middle of the road so I could take this picture. It sits on a small hill maybe 100 ft, that has been cut away for the road. At a guess I think the statue would be actual size of a horse and rider.

Great job, Sue...would love to visit this statue in person.

Great statue, Sue! Thanks

Nice picture Sue

Good evening to all! Nice capture Sue. I have a few of those types of photos too, from a few places in northern Montana. I'll have to get around to posting them sometime as they are unique like yours.

Steve, At first I didn't understand why you were proving an already strong link between g7 and i9 in step 3a but a few seconds later when I realized it was a wrap around chain I had a little chuckle (not a Groucho Marx duck soup sort of chuckle but a chuckle nonetheless). However, I still don't More...

Hi Jeff,
Maybe some typo on Steve’s solution by other notations You can follow as :
- Step 3a : g6<>24, f4 & e7<>9
- Step 3b : c7<>2
- Step 3c : d4<>9 => singles to the end (UP81)
BTW, Steve’s step 3a is a very nice deduction that we need to learn…

According to the timer I took over four hours. It would appear I forgot to pause while my son visited for the evening!
Looks life size.

Thanks for seeing the typos, Jeff. Indeed, I erred in expressing the eliminations, as ttt noted. Step 3a is a wrap around chain, and all the the only 9's left in columns ef after making the correct eliminations are those at ef36 and f9. The wrap around chain proves both: (9)f9=(9)f36 and More...

steve, thanks for the response and yes, ttt, it's a "nice" technique.
