 This week I tackled the Jigsaw puzzle for a change, and was rewarded. It was both solvable and fun. Thank you for this nice puzzle.

 No need for guesses; CE, wings and setti solve it.

 Dear Susi,
What do you consider difficult and what do you consider not difficult or too difficult? Who is drawing the line where?
When I open a new extreme I start with it, not looking at the comments and not on the right side. My decision. I prefer to have hints and discussions here and not on the right side.
But who am I to judge or tell.

a 3 in G49 would give an immediate contradiction to Setti on 2

 Since in that case D6 would be 2, I do not see a contradiction.

 @Rudik: Remember, what strikes Klaus as an "immediate contradiction" is, for the likes of us, merely a first step. With D6=2 and E6=5 there is no sulution

 The immediacy comes with G7=9.

 @Auwei: I get to a point where E6 = 4 or 5 -> no contradiction.

If D6 =2 (forcey by Setti 2) then E6=4, E7=6, G7=9 contradicts to 3 in G49.
