				Yes, only basics for me too. I wonder at what point the puzzle 
 
changed from VH to easy?  (I'm too lazy to try it and click 
 
Grade each move!). |

right.
 
(in b9, as Marty R. pointed out.)
 
interesting puzzle -- i needed 4 moves
 
- r3 "hidden" duo {8,9}
 - r5 "hidden" duo {3,8}
 - b9 "hidden" duo {2,8} --> (4) r7\b8
  combined to solve c4 4 
 
 
puzzle after "singles"
 
( that's enough to reduce it from VH to Hard ) --
