I got to where I only had about 12 boxes left and got stuck. I finally realized the trick to solving the last boxes was applying all the rules to the possible solutions of those boxes. Tricky!

There must a rule that I am not aware of to solve the last 12. Would be nice to know what it is so that I can use it in future

For me it was this rule: if there are in ohne field only two boxes left with 4,one next to the other, then in none of these boxes can be a 6. It's the same with 1 and 4, 3 and 7 and so on.

Yep, that was it for me, too! Since there are two boxes left in the bottom-right corner, and one of them had to be a four, neither of the boxes could be a six.

Thanks folks. Brain was not in gear. I was using that rule once I had allocated a number. I just did not apply it to the pencil marks. Doh!!!!!

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'.
