I post this puzzle (a VH+) because of recent VH puzzles that can be solved basically. You will need more than "our" standard VHs usually require, but only minimally I think. This particular puzzle gave me fits, personally, but it was because I simply didn't "see" the patterns. SO.....just push those brains a bit; maybe a Skyscraper, maybe a Hidden Rectangle......maybe something else (a Uniqueness Test)....and it can be done. But, also look for the VH staples, i.e. X-Wing, XY-Wing, XYZ-Wing, etc. This was a good one...

Code:

+-------+-------+-------+
| 2 9 1 | . 8 . | . . . |
| 7 6 . | . . . | . . . |
| . . 3 | 1 . . | . . . |
+-------+-------+-------+
| . 5 7 | . . 8 | . 4 . |
| 8 . 6 | . 4 . | 1 . 5 |
| . 4 . | 5 . . | 8 2 . |
+-------+-------+-------+
| . . . | . . 7 | 6 . . |
| . . . | . . . | . 7 2 |
| . . . | . 6 . | 4 8 3 |
+-------+-------+-------+

(5)r7c5 = r7c8 - r1c8 = r1c6 => - 5r2c5,r8c6
X-Wing (3)r16c68 => - 3r28c6 leads to:
