				| The May 3 was an insult to the word "diabolical." One XY-Wing with pincer transport and it was done in less than 10 minutes. 
 Similar with May 1. A one-stepper, take your choice, multi-coloring, Skyscraper or BUG+2.

				| Norm, 
 In re-reading my post, it could be interpreted that I was being critical of you for posting such an easy puzzle. This is not the case at all, as I do these diabolicals regularly, regardless of whether they're posted here or not.

 Marty,
 I actually agree with you that the diabolicals can sometimes be way easier than what a diabolical means to be.
 
 I didn't take any offense to your statement whatsoever.
 
 in this case, it took both diabolicals to make up for half of one.
   did you try today's?  I have posted it.

 Nope, not yet, I'm a few puzzles behind.
