Hard on the eyes and only suitable for the young!! Managed it with show wrong and guess work.

That was seriously difficult! This puzzle only has a tiny number of unaided solutions, even after several days.
Gareth, have you considered using the ratio of attempts vs unaided solutions (and perhaps the time to solve) to construct a more objective puzzle rating system? (I still find the user ratings unsatisfactory even after your reform of a few months ago.)

Key
A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
