Hi there, I was reading yesterdays posts and am wondering what the more challenging puzzles are you are referring to. I often wonder what all those postings with all those numbers mean.

Y-3 (unsolved) has only one advanced step:

1. DK: (89=134)ab9c7 - (1)a7=deh7 # +1de7, STE.
[(1)de7=*(1-3)h7=(3-28')gi9=(8)i8 - SS(8)ib5*.c48=(8-9)c5=(9-1)e5=e7]
||
[(1)e7==(28')gi9-(8)b9=*(9)c7-c5=(9-1)e5=e7]

// ext. als-xz: (134)b569=SS(8)b59*.g94 - (8=4)i5; -4c5
// MW(98)c5/(8)i5g4.(9)g6; -9a6
// HW(98)c5/(8)i5g4.(2)a4; -9a4
// x:(4)i8=h7-c7=c1-g1=g4-f4=f3; -4e1.i5
--------------------------------------------------------------
dk(1.25 + 1 + .75) + p(4 * .25 + .25) = 4.25**
