According to my rating table this puzzle is rated "Ultra Hard".
And judging by the number of Chains and when they are required, I would rate this puzzle "Really Ultra Hard".

:oops: I guess I should read the rating table again. I wasn't sure where the chains fell, but now I see them. Maybe I should print the thing out in larger letters. :shock:
