				| A UR does it, but there are a lot of pairs to resolve.

				| Indeed yes Keith. When I saw all of the pairs I had to share this one. 
 Here's where I was after basics:
 
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | +------------+-------------+-------------+
 | 8   5  7   | 49  49   3  | 2    16 16  |
 | 23  13 12  | 56  8    56 | 9    7  4   |
 | 9   4  6   | 7   1    2  | 5    3  8   |
 +------------+-------------+-------------+
 | 357 6  159 | 259 3579 8  | 37   4  12  |
 | 4   13 158 | 256 357  56 | 3678 12 9   |
 | 37  2  89  | 1   3479 49 | 3678 5  67  |
 +------------+-------------+-------------+
 | 25  7  25  | 8   6    1  | 4    9  3   |
 | 1   8  3   | 459 459  49 | 67   26 267 |
 | 6   9  4   | 3   2    7  | 1    8  5   |
 +------------+-------------+-------------+

 It's not very close to VH for me. I hate to give up, but give up I did. This is a disgusting puzzle not worthy of additional effort. After trying 50 things and hitting 50 brick walls, I threw in the towel.

				| Apologies to you, Marty. Guess it is rightfully classified as Too Hard. A UR solves it nicely.

 Yes indeed.
 
 For reasons I don't understand, I no longer play Type 1 URs. So beyond the 56 UR, I found it incredibly difficult.
