Nice break from the tougher toughs today:
) Start at 23 filled - the given puzzle. UP to 26. (Unique Possibilities).
2) Hidden pair 34 at ac5 forbids df5=4, a5=269, c5=268 UP 28
3a) Locked 6's at b56 forbids b389=6
3b) (note in 5's all the almost xwings and almost swordfish - it begs More...

Was is just me - or was this a VERY easy 'tough'

Good Maen, all!

3b as a forbidding chain:
b3=9 == b5=9 -- a4=9 == h4=9 -- h4=5 == {finned swordfish on 5's at bde9, de4, cde2} forbids b3=5

good mAen

Hi Sam!
The grid:
Rows are 1 thru 9, bottom to top.
Columns are a thru i, left to right.
(similar to algebraic notation in chess - except or course we have both one more column and row.)]
Forbidding chains are explained in proofs link below.
Matrices are explained in the More...

'Proofs link below' meaning at the bottom of the web page.

Still poking along -- it wasn't easy for me!

Good mAen all!

Keyan: Is there anyplace you HAVEN'T been?

Of course there are places you haven't been! Let me rephrase that: Is there anywhere you haven't been that you would like to go? Thanks for sharing your photos!

Thanks, I kept trying to count down instead of up. Makes sense now.

one o the toughest for me!

Piece of cake!

Nice picture of the Bay Bridge, Keyan.

MaEn to all. Been on that bridge and it is beautiful and exciting. Thanks for the pic.

Good maEnto all! Another great picture Keyan! Thanks for sharing it!!

Several!
Komodo and the Galapagos, I think, among others.
Where would everyone like to go?

Got bounced from chatroom for mentioning a breed of spaniel. Backson, Bizy backson.

Keyan, Australia,after meeting so many people on this site. I want to experience first hand all the things they talk about.
Also, my dream is to climb Mt Everest.

Australia, New Zealand, and Oregon are tops on my list! Oregon especially because it is the only US state I have not visited.

Go for Everest, Steph! I personally know two people who have been to the lowest base camp, but I don't think I could do it! I'm grateful I made it to Tangboche Monastery. Now my dream is to climb Kilamanjaro (no technical climbing involved).
