I've been going through the very hards for 2007. Got stuck on Feb 22 and can't find any discussions for this period. Any help??? I apologise in advance if I screwed up getting this far.

Well cg,

You gave up a little early as there are some straightforward eliminations.

Look at Block 9 - there are a pair of <39> which tidy up that corner quite a bit. This is how your puzzle should look after that:

...as I recall you labelled the x-wing as perfect square.....

Look elsewhere on the forum where Marty gives some good advice on how to get your grid straight ! It makes it easier for us to help you ! Smile

Thank you M. I'm looking for wings and things and missed an elementary elimination with 39s in Block 9. That's sad!!

I had a hard time getting the grid I posted. I copied someone elses and changed numbers. I'll search for the advice you suggested.
Perhaps the site could contain a blank template for this purpose.
