At 6:00 the first thing was to place the single 5 at C1R5. That allowed several placements. After that you would be able to identify 2,5 and 8,9 pairs in Block 8, but you were nowhere near that when you gave up, so it would be very hard to explain. This was a very satisfying puzzle to finish without notations. Not as satisfying as yesterday, but still very satisfying.
True, it was again a bit of a challenge today, although not nearly as much as the previous day. I quickly got to the point where there was a 25 pair in block 8, which confirmed the placement of the 89 and that was the basis to disentangle the rest of the puzzle promptly..
