				| It would be nice to see more discussion. 
 By the way, I have convinced myself to try solving hard puzzles the way you do, oaxen.

				| No basic at all in the beginning. I tested "3" on row 1 and rather soon it was obvious that 3 shall be in R1C7 and in both cases a bunch of correct numbers show up.
 After that just solve with ordinary basic techniques. So in a way, this Menneske was rather easy, sometimes one has to open secondary chains and the paper is full with intricate pencilmarks.
