TH 168# externals 168r8c146 => triple with r8c25 => –168r8c789
The digit in r7c7 appears in r9c16 => only one internal, at the rectangle => RTs, 168 each appear at r19c16 (*).
168b9* \ r19c7 => –168r1c7
After basics, this is where RTs truly shine:

Since there is only one internal, either it is in r9c1, making r2c35 r8c5 a RT, or in r9c6, making r2c35 r7c3 a RT => each of 168 has to appear in #-marked cells.
1r4# \ c35b4 => –1r5c3, 8r5c3, 8# \ c5 => –8r4c5
