Very good - it cant be far from it as it beats my best - i never got rid of the clue r6c6
and i found box 6 couldnt be improved despite the large number of possible combinations -- and it makes my search of band 3 a waste !!!

gridchecker came up with this one ... careful as it has to minlex with the first band -as I see you also have realized !!!

[JPF]

I'll see what I can do!
I edited #305 and #306 with new improvements.

...careful as it has to minlex with the first band -as I see you also have realized !!!

Yes, that's the beauty of the exercice.
