Grats Shroomy!
Probably you know my special solving method! (really it's impossible) :))
There is an own solving logic method. It's not the same as line logic or egde logic, but it's similar of a mix of them. I use it every time on two (or more) rows (columns). It begins without drawing, I count more clues, and it contains not only adding but multiplying and divisions, too! :) I created this method more than a decade ago. Experimentally it's faster than line logic in about quarter of puzzles (but needs expert counting in yor minds)
That's what I said this: Your puzzle is an excellent example for my solving method! :))

i assumed joe's EL dotted C10R5, which is the same dot that I got looking at EL with a 2 in C10 :)

#12 is my favorite guess. I second the bunny pirate jolly roger.
