8:42 . Very fun. Lends itself well to a smooth solve, at least for those who love pencil marks like myself.

7:36. There was a pretty good flow to this in parts but oftentimes I had to rely on usual brute-force stuff to get through.

I hope your life isn't really falling apart right now.

Just missed one hat, my excuse is that I take my time to appreciate James's work. A nice guest appearance from an excellent setter.
Would it be appropriate to mention his Artisan Sudoku site and newsletter here ?

No hat for me, made a ricket and restarted. Still had fun!

Protip: if you must live in your vehicle, buy a Prius hybrid with camper conversion. I also recommend a copy of Orwell's "Down and Out in Paris and London" to cheer you up. Sincerely hope this is not the case tho.
