				| Dan certainly did this much more efficiently than I did. I did a half-dozen moves before finishing it off with an XY-Wing. |

				I followed my normal sequence of checks, and made a total of six moves involving four different candidate digits, suggesting that all moves were not truly required to solve the  puzzle.
 
 
I enjoyed it very much .........

“Warm ups” I associate with stretching and jogging. Took me three Ers, a skyscraper,  an xy wing and two type 6?URs. That was a marathon!! |
