You asked for it! I have not tried this one.

I'm giving up and accepting the adjective in the subject line, even though someone will probably prove it possible.

Strongest digits : 4,5 whose X Chains are weakly coupled in r2c8 and r4c5.
They enter the following loop :
Code:
+----------------------+----------------------+---------------------+
| 369(5)  3489  689-5  | 3678  34678    1     | 2478  2347(5)  2378 |
| 7       2     158    | 38    9        38(4) | 6     -13(45)  138  |
| 36      1348  168    | 2     34678    5     | 9     1347     1378 |
+----------------------+----------------------+---------------------+
| 2       178   178(5) | 137   -37(45)  3(4)  | 37    69       69   |
| 4       6     3      | 9     278      28    | 5     127      127  |
| 9(5)    179   179-5  | 1367  23567    236   | 237   8        4    |
+----------------------+----------------------+---------------------+
| 8       5     2      | 4     136      369   | 17    3679     3679 |
| 1       39    4      | 368   2368     7     | 28    2369     5    |
| 369     379   679    | 5     1238     2389  | 1248  2349     2389 |
+----------------------+----------------------+---------------------+
Loop[5] : 5r2c8=5r1c8-5r1c1=5r6c1-5r4c3=(5-4)r4c5=4r4c6-4r2c6=4r2c8 @
:=> -5r16c3,r4c5=45=r2c8

The solution of the loop solves the puzzle :
Code:

| 2     178   1578 | 137     7-34(5)  (34)  | (37)   69     69   |

I agree with JC van Hay.
The problem is to find favourable bivalues. After examining "4" inC7 I found out R9C7 must be correct. The next step was to decide that "5" must be in R2C3 and after that it is pure basic. Interesting puzzle like all in Menneskes impossible are. Only stupid that his random idéa makes me to believe that weeks ago I have solved the same puzzle.

Well, there are millions of puzzles, it is unlikely you will get the same one twice.

I was focusing on R4 and proving R4C6 is 4 for any value in R4C4. Can't quite get there.

No so many unimpossibles. And all the other levels are not so interesting.
