if anyone's interested in the solution without guessing, use scanraid and import the puzzle. It used Xwing, unique rectangles, XYZ wing , and then an XY chain to break the puzzple open. Very cool

(I bet I won't be saying "weee" in 15 minutes or so...)
11:20 am
Limer
Oh, you may be saying wee in 15 minutes, but not after 30.
11:22 am
Limer
You will be saying stuff like (expletive deleted) and (expletive deleted).
11:23 am
Readhead
I'm sure that's true. I might be wishing I was doing my work instead of my puzzle at that point, how sad!
11:23 am
Limer
Yeah, that is sad.
11:24 am
Readhead

UnikeTheHunter
What's nishio?

Alessandi
evening go...
1:54 pm
sandbox74
Unike: it's the method of making an "educated" guess
1:55 pm
UnikeTheHunter
Really educated? Or just a hunch?
2:08 pm
Alessandi
halfway through, my fav shows on so saving for ron.
2:25 pm
UnikeTheHunter
22.
3:23 pm
UnikeTheHunter
Done. Used greens. But I didn't guess. I used the back of an envelope to study some lines with two or three. And I linked two loops of different numbers.
3:35 pm
UnikeTheHunter
Rats. The technique I discovered in today's Expert doesn't work in Thursday's Expert.
5:23 pm
UnikeTheHunter
Ah, at last, after many days, I did Thursday's Expert without guessing. I think I may be improving.

6:15 pm
Alessandi
I haven't a clue what any of that is , but lets go again...
6:23 pm
Alessandi
Done no green, I had saved it halfway through so I was on the right track anyway, I found I got off to a flier and the top middle was the key square for me, plain sailing from there more or less. Better late than never.
