I don't think I have ever seen so many identical bivalue cells and opportunities for same three digits in an xy-wing.

I did solve the puzzle as follows:
Quote:
Remote Pair 34 deletes both digits from r5c8, making it a 5,
xy-wing 234 with pivot 24 at r6c9 deletes 3 at r8c1, but transporting the 3 from r6c1 to r4c8 also deletes the 3 from r9c8 and completes the puzzle.

Definitely a different, fun puzzle for me........

A monster! Shocked
Quote:
easily spotted the remote pair then struggled through an x-wing and a kite followed by a w-wing 43 by 3 and
a jelly 4 which cracked it.

Hope someone sees an easier path

I used a few XY-Wings, including pincer transport, Remote Pairs, two simple colorings and what I think some call a Mixed W-Wing.
