Interesting. I like the logic of the solution that I gave back then, but there's no way that I would accept the AIC that I wrote then without inserting some "memory" stars.

Is there an easy way to convert the solutions given back then to solutions for the morphed puzzle?

Hi Steve, unfortunately not. The reason is that, just for fun, I control my morphing process by a series of random numbers, so I get a different random morph each time.

You just have to study the pattern of the post basics grid and figure out where everything has been moved to and relabelled. I did that myself in the previous puzzle and it was a bit of an effort.

Interesting puzzle in itself. Thank you Leren.

Reading JC Van Hay's analysis of the original puzzle is much interesting too... Last JC's post on this forum is dated January 5, 2018. No post either on other forums since quite same dates.

JC Van Hay, we miss you !

It's not so hard, but takes some minutes.
The box with the elimination is the only one with two 2 and one 3 candidates cells not in L pattern.
So the eliminated digit must be 1, and so on ...
