1. Unique possibilities to 29.
2. If g1=6,g9=1.Also g1=9,i2=1 makes g9=1.UPs to 60.
3. c2=5 (to avoid the unresolvable 79 rectangle at ce12).UPs to 81.

alfred, for g1 i get 689 as possibilities not just 69. probably made a mistake setting up but can't find it. thanks, mark

1) Start at 22,basic techniques to UP=31
2) YW:(9=6)g1-(6=1)g9-(1=9)i7,=>i2<>9.UP=60
3)(9):b3=h3-h6=c6,=>b6c12<>9.UP=81

Stunning! (What kind of flower is it?)

Hi chiefmsb,
i45=47,=>i13=28
Best Regards,Sotir

BTW:Typo,3)=>b5c12<>9

26 minutes. Essentially I used Alfred's logic, but first time I only got up to UP28. I hadn't spotted the pair 28 in i13 that locks 1 into ghi2, and resolves f2. So I had an extra detour denying 2 from c1, and only then I noticed that I can forbid 6 h3.

From UP 60 onwards I used different More...

sotir, thanks, i found my mistake

11:11 Maen! That is some serious color!

Now that's a close-up - unless they are larger in Australia than in the US.

Hi Sotir.The last few puzzles,I seem to be missing candidates in step 1.Today,how did you get to UP31? I thought I had taken account of all the pairs (16,25,47,28,34,19) but could only get to UP29.
Regards,Alfred.

Never mind Sotir.Just noticed,h5=2=f4.Alfred.

Beautiful flower but watch out for the thorns...

Thorns and it grows like a weed!

Bougainvilla! Wish it grew here...too cold in the winter :0(
