I guess a single, 5-cell XY-Chain doesn't qualify as unreasonable.

Yet another representation:

Code:
 (6=7934)b2q4328 - (4=6)r7c5  =>  r89c4<>6
 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
 |  4      8      37     |  1     c39    b79     |  2      6      5      |
 |  135    2      137    | a67     8      567    |  9      13     4      |
 |  135    6      9      |  24    d34     245    |  8      13     7      |
 |-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------|
 |  8      479    246    |  5      469    4679   |  1      249    3      |
 |  139    5      134    |  349    2      8      |  7      49     6      |
 |  369    479    2346   |  34679  1      4679   |  5      249    8      |
 |-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------|
 |  2      1      5      |  8     e46     3      |  46     7      9      |
 |  7      49     46     |  9-6    5      1      |  3      8      2      |
 |  69     3      8      |  249-6  7      2469   |  46     5      1      |
 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

I have been having a lot more trouble with recent puzzles that you haven't labeled as unreasonable. This was a BBDB for me, with seven assorted steps, but at least I was able to do it.

Hello Marty,

Yes, I've had serious concerns about the difficulty of my puzzles for awhile now. I'm afraid that their difficulty has already driven some away.

I plan to update my Ratings list and start including it so those solving the puzzles will (again) have some idea what my solver encountered. In fact, I'm planning to include my solver's solution.

Thanks for the feedback !!!

Regards, Danny

No Danny, this one was quite OK, anyhow for us chainsolvers. A syncronized test with the 9īs in row 1 gives quickly that 6 in r2c4 is correct and from that you can roll the puzzle up in one step.
