				| Since today's VH was a doddle, I did this one to get my fix.  I was unable to highlight the hints (if there were any) and I didn't get the Ferris Buehler thing. Though I did use an ER on <9> which I think most ordinary people would find hard to locate. This put the <9> into R1C2 and then the puzzle fell apart. |
