I agree with you Chessmaster. I used nothing more than a naked pair to solve this one.

Code: Select all
 *-----------*
 |.36|...|.1.|
 |21.|78.|..6|
 |...|...|.7.|
 |---+---+---|
 |6..|..7|5.4|
 |...|8.5|...|
 |4.1|6..|..7|
 |---+---+---|
 |.4.|...|...|
 |5..|.18|.92|
 |.6.|...|14.|

It was easy but somewhat entertaining with its pairs etc. A decent, non-pencil-marked commuter-ride puzzle.

Thank you for your agreement on this. Most of the puzzles in my paper are easy though.

Yes that sums up papers, usually.
Once in a while a harder one slips in. Not often.
