Thanks Tarek. This one just kept flowing until finally hitting a snag. Managed to quickly see a nice way to get moving again.

Regular Samurai #80A (Apprentice) Walkthrough
Hidden Text:
SudokuSolver All Simpler (SSAS) - (download attachment from #79 thread)

From SSAS
1. Grid 3 [edited typo]: 7 locked in r48c56 -> 8 cannot be locked in both r48c56 since it would force multiple solutions -> no 8 in r8c56

SSAS to the end.

Cheers
Ed
