@ hone:
'm just about to tackle your summer break puzzles again, which is not easy.
I remember that we had posted about this before. Unfortunately, those old comments have all been deleted.
If you don't mind, could you briefly give me some more helpful critical tips for the four puzzles (I seem to remember that 5-fish was mostly necessary).
The solution itself you have posted like the puzzles also in the St8ts forum.
If too much trouble for you, no problem.
Thanks

| | Quite easy, can probably be done without candidates. Needs a simple x-wing to finish it off.

| | Very tricky, stuck at 4 cells solved.
Made use of three xwings, an UR and setti 5.
Then tested J9: no 5 there gave progress until the End.

| | At 4 solved cells, there is a very simple SI testing F8=5, which solves a couple more.
Then I needed a couple of longer chains - first testing J6=2, then testing J5=2.

The is.gd/... pages do not work. Only a white pattern is shown.
Yesterday everything was correct.

| | Here's two ways people can get their str8t's fix:
1. Use: mastertoolworks.com/str8ts/str8ts.html, click Load Puzzle, and enter the is.gd url.
2. Go to the is.gd address, take the long puzzle number, take the first 81 chars and last 81 chars (ie. remove the middle 81). put them together and enter them in the str8ts solver url.

H1=9? J1=8,G3=6,G7=8,HJ8=6
so H1=5
Thanks for this challenge, Leren!
