 Many small steps, but once again easier than it seems at first glance; doable with Setti and CE. Thank you, hepa!

Nice puzzle, considerably easier than last week’s. Which is actually not a problem at all, since I have a lot to do this week :-)

A nice challenge. A chain shows that D4<>7 (x power). Then, however, I had to test B789 hi/lo.
