sinjinn.... I'm more interested in the _lowest_ score for an expert. How simple can you make it and have the algorithm still call it an expert? I've had a couple where the only thing it takes to solve other than basic techniques is one Unique Rectangle... but it came up Expert.

Did it, no green, no guess. As often happens, I found a group of three in an L shape. Following the forced moves from there, I found a contradiction in a manageable number of visualizations -- I could follow the logic in my head. So I got it again. Look for those L shapes.

spellacked, I'd ask drwho about that. He's likely to not only know the answer off the top of his head, but to be able to explain why and how it happens.
