I'm afraid that I came to the same conclusion. The two trios expressed
as say  ooo  & xxx can be set out in two plain hunt blocks
1: from say oooxxx and 2 from say oxxoxo this leaves the two skeleton
rows oxxoxo & xooxxo
Graham's block is two plain hunts of type 1. (the one being
superimposed on the other between place notation 36 and 14
I cannot see how the same could be applied to plain hunt type 2 and we
still have to deal with the two skeleton rows oxxoxo & xooxxo
