NAM: No Advanced Moves.

If this takes you (with pencil & paper) less than an hour, you are much better than I am. (Or, maybe you have had one or more fewer glasses of that Sonoma product.)

We know damn well that I'm not better than my mentor, but I have had -0- glasses of Sonoma. Maybe we had an advantage knowing we should spend no time looking for advanced moves, but I timed out at:

Do you need more Sonoma after Butler was slightly less ugly than MSU?

Marty, It took me well over an hour, and I was not even watching the game.

Thanks, Keith, for the puzzle!

I saved this one for Easter Monday morning (which is a public holiday in Austria), so I had caffeine but no CH3CH2OH effects. Total time 29 minutes, 20 of those minutes spent completing pencilmarks. During that time I found

Quote:

singles "3" r3c4 and then "1" r2c4
triple 567 in row 5
triple 348 column 3



But the breakthrough came with a box/line (8 confined to r2c13), which exposed a couple of triples and naked pairs.

Good one !
