    After finding the 3 in C6 and the consequent 7s and 3s in boxes 4 snd 5 this solve just flew to a conclusion! No esoteric combinations needed today! Have a wonderful day and enjoy the holiday!

    Not bad. Nothing at all difficult, but a merry dance around the grid (8 = row 8 column 7):
    87, 41, 64, 36, 23,
    65, 69, 86, 46, 56,
    43, 51, 45, 44, 48,
    19, 18, 59, 85, 94,
    11, 15, 99, 73, 61,
    82, 83, 62, 63, 92,
    91, 93, 72, 96, 76,
    97, 98, 78, 77, 58,
    57, 54, 55, 33, 29,
    39, 25, 35, 21, 31,
    27, 37, 22, 32, 24,
    34, 28, 38.
    According to HoDoKu, this has only four hidden singles, but I'm pretty sure I found a good many more. It seems that I have a tendency to pick out hidden singles before they become naked.

    A pretty nice one. Not very hard. I started with the classic NYT triple in row 6, which sorted out block 8 pretty well. Then the 58 pair in block 6 gave good discipline to block 5. From there on, things would lead to other things.

      Yes, today's grid isn't very trying

      Correction, the triple was in column 6, not row.
