Yes, NAM means No Advanced Moves required.

Thanks for the feedback Pat. You readily lose context on this site if you do not participate regularly.

Keith, I don't think c9 qualifies.    |

So, I have figured out "P&P" and "NAM" but what  is "trios"?

				Trio = hidden triple.
 
 
C9:
 
 
6789
 
67
 
13489
 
 
167
 
1679
 
167
 
 
2
 
456
 
1356
 
 
Quint in R12456 reduces to:
 
 
C9:
 
 
6789
 
67
 
34
 
 
167
 
1679
 
167
 
 
2
 
45
 
35
 
 
Or, hidden triple (trio) 345 in R389

So am I, but it has nothing to do with Sudoku!
