1. Note pairs 36 at d79,i9;pairs 78 at g2,i1;16 at af3.UPs to 26.
2. If e1=8,i1=7.If e6=8=i5,again i1 =7.UPs to29.
3. Note pair 36 at c46.If c8=2,i8=9.If c8=4=e9=f1,f5=8,i5=2,again i8=9.UP30.
4. i7=12 (to avoid the 36 rectanle at dh79).
5. If c8=2=i7=d5,i5=8=f8=e1,24 have no place in column e.So c8=4.UPs to 81.
