	| David:  I am seeing R5C6 equal to 8 not 3. There is a 3 above at R4C6. What is interesting is that the guest said your tip was great and he was OK from there. Strange? I enjoy reading and learning fro ... |

	| I, too, cannot see the three at R5C5 in the original post. I looked at this one a long time and overlooked the "8" X-Wing because I kept being drawn to the multiple Unique Rectangles in this puzzle. H ... |
