Hi, Ted, I also tried exploiting that 8=7 AUR link but was not as patient as you in getting results.

Went with the ole hidden pair trick instead. Been a while since I tried these so I hope I got it right.

SE = 7.1

I used a few worthless moves before noticing the XY-Chain. Mine made the same eliminations but I used the 5 in r3c9 to prove 4 in r2c6.
