My mistake, my middle box row solution is basics, not singles. Sorry.
... by: James Havard
463 subs and 543 seconds to find two subs in the top box row that together gives a singles solution A5=7 C4=4.
Middle box row 228 subs and 228 seconds to get three subs together for a singles solution D5=8 E1=2 F9=1
Bottom box row 42 subs and 67 seconds to get three together for a singles solution G6=1 G8=2 H4=2
