Really intricate puzzle from start to finish, those interactions between row 4 - col 6 and also box 2 - row 2 are just nasty :o

I remember my first solve of this being very slow indeed. The 2nd time through - having forgotten truly everything, I assure you! - went much better. Thank you for posting, and thanks for mentioning the puzzle pack. Would be great to see more people try it.
-I also hope more people give the pack a try. So many of those puzzles are just neat. -SSG
