Can you beat kaffenils time by hand?

That one took me 35 minutes  But it gave me problems I have not encountered before and has given me an idea to improve my solver 
BTW Unless you can immediately see a pattern, you will never beat a solver programme because the computer can do it's logical eliminations at the rate of something like 16,000,000 per second. (AMD 2.2 gig processor) Granted that the computor can't take a global view an ignore obvious impossibilities ( which could slow it down by a factor of 6561) but that leaves it something like 2500 times faster than a human in that part of it's computing.

The more I learn about VB.NET the more I like dBaseIII Plus
