Yes, the puzzle is solvable without guessing or chains, though it isn't easy. Checking which numbers have to appear in which box is essential.
Thanks once again, hepa!

 Nice one. A UR in FG12 helped. However, I could not solve the last four cells

 Very nice. Settis and B-power are enough. And it solves uniquely at the end, of course.

 I had to test Hi/Lo in H5-8. Rather smooth to check for both alternatives (quick contradiction and smooth solution resp.)

A really nice and easy Sunday triple (omitting the jigsaw for now :-). For me this defines the border line between ****-puzzles and easy "extremes": You need settis and wings, but nothing more. With ****-puzzles, you often see wings and even URs, but you never need them
