Play this puzzle online at the Daily Sudoku site

I'm not complaining as we've had consecutive VHs (most unusual and
most welcome) but this one must rate as one of the easiest ever. Apart
from Clement's solutions, there's also a one shot 156 XY available.

Just to recap, there are 5 solutions: 2 versions of xy 156 with pivots at r6c7 and r7c8, 2 versions for xy 159 pivots at r4c7 and r5c8, and the obvious BUG+1 in box 6. There may be other advanced solutions but my ride ends here.

Generally, the consecutives occur only on the last day of the month and the first of the next month, as is the case here.

And there's always the lucky guess... Very Happy
