Found to require lots of guessing by infrapinklizzard.

The 9 in c6 and the 4 in c7 can be in two positions. When in the wrong place, the 3 in c8 and the 2 in c7 can also be in two positions. That's three solutions right there.

There's another set like that in the lower left giving another set of 3 solutions; combined that makes 9 solutions so far

there are at least eight blue sets that can be exchanged giving (2^8=) 256 more solutions; combined with the others is at least 2304 solutions now.

I think I can stop counting.

Hm. Some of the puzzles with multiple solutions were not restored correctly, and I think this is one of them. (I didn't try solving it -- I peeked at the solution.)

Would anyone be willing to share their solution for the columns with only 9 each?
