That seems like a strange ordering. I'd look for hidden pairs before searching for triples or quads. |

I fully appreciate that this order is only my personal preference and others would choose a different order if they could. |

FWIW I agree with your ordering of hidden vs. naked N-tuples. Indeed, I still have have a tough time picking out the hidden candidates even when looking at the SS hint.
