51 rather casual min. for me. Hard, but not particularly hard. No bifurcation or special tricks needed. However, I took an educated guess at one point, which turned out to be right, and after the puzzle was finished, I went back and immediately saw that it was indeed forced.

Glad you liked it, I don't do many puzzles like this as it is a bit to close to bifurcation for solution path.. even thou once you see it the clues are there for a reason heh

Holy smokes! This puzzle was a punch in the stomach. It took me like 7 hours and one full reset to finish it. My brain is ironed out.
But did I like it? - HELL YEAH!!!
Would I try to solve something like that again? - ABSOLUTELY!!!

I loved the others, but this was a huge pain; somehow it managed to completely work against me in every step.. first ten minutes were a breeze (Box 1,4 and 7 [box 7 except col1] sorted) quadruplet in box 6 sorted and several small cleanups etc.
Then came box 2 and kicked me in the balls over and over again, no way to get any sort of grip.
First I thought I had at least a good idea about where -what later turned out to be- the 2/8 pair would go although I thought about it as a 2-3-8 triplet of options att; bounced it off box 3 and twenty some minutes later cleaned the entire grid to start over.
Realised that -what later became- the 4-6 pair was restricted somewhat dramatically as well and again got punched in the face another half an hour later or such.... [and yes NOW I know that I forgot to consider it a triplet as well]
And so I ping ponged over the grid and not got a single grid midgame miniscule chips flaking off here and there and eventually I got it but what a hollow victory :-(
Anyways, I'm so sorry.. but I hate this particular puzzle so much I want to slap it with a trout
--------------------
UPDATED my rating... played it again, remembering what to look out for and when carefully checking that I never reduce a triplet to a pair when not tediously verified and it bit me again because of yet another mistake of that very kind.
So yeah difficulty is beyond five (for my tiny little purely mechanical brain at least) but leaving that alone and moving along from the other side of the puzzle I eventually found what I think you had intended; since it was a more elegant path that most importantly leads to the correct coloring of tiles.. so yeah it's actually nice IF you find that intended path
