this puzzle is not minimal
however this would be the highest 5.9 puzzle that has ever been played in the patterns game if it were valid
previous best was 5.9/4.6/3.0

it's also a bit of a phoney because se misses the ur+hidden pair in block 3 for some reason

the solve path also has two BUGs in it which is a bit unusual

But you were still the first player. And I don't believe it was my turn as dealer. Strange
