G, NG. Finding all the hidden pairs is the tricky part. After that, using the unique rectangles isn't necessary, although it may speed up the process a bit. (Strictly speaking, URs are considered by some to be an invalid technique.)

Did it, no greens, no guesses, and even no unique rectangles. Nothing more complicated than pairs used in solving this. 18.

Janetb50 - I know that guessing is considered invalid, but I have never read/heard where URs are invalid. They are just an extension of pairs - why would they be invalid?
