I really liked this one. I solved this with 3 separate colouring finds,
which my faulty memory thinks is tied for the record for Nightmares.

Thank you.

Hi Laura,

I like this one too, especially since I implemented a few new solving techniques in SudoCue.

This is the list of encountered solving techniques:

Locked Candidates (8x)
Naked Pair (3x)
Naked Triple (2x)
Hidden Pair (2x)
XY-Wing
XYZ-Wing (2x)
Finned X-Wing (this technique absorbs one colouring find)
Colouring (2x)

They may not all be required, but the list is impressive...

Ruud.
