:::comment:::
I hope you are enjoying this pattern.......one more clue than my previous submission. Is it better to have less puzzles...harder to generate [with 21 clues] or more puzzles [with 22 clues] ?

Anyhow, my next pattern [21 clues] is a belter, apparently few puzzles and a cracking top puzzle.

Could be reserved for a special "Le Mans" occaision !
