I'm missing the hardest Mith sudokus posted on this forum. Now we get Exoset problems, but I like the older examples like the Tatooines series too, because they are more human solvable at least for me. So I post one myself which I hope it gives the same solving pleasure for you all as it gave for me when solving them. Creating one with equal hardness is a difficult job to do so I modified one of the latest pattern game and I think I came close to the originals.

I miss them too. Thanks for making more of them.

This puzzle can't be solved by Subsets alone; it requires bivalue-chains or something similar.

I still have a number to post, I'll get back to them soon (maybe even tomorrow). I've been messing around with variants a lot lately (see the two Consecutives in the variant section for something related to the Tatooine series), and just haven't gotten around to going through all my classic fishy puzzles to figure out what to post.
