				I found three moves and they completed the puzzle.
 
 
 	  | Quote: | 	 		  An AIC that I found looking for a xy-wing: (2=4)r5c4 - (4)r6c5 = (4)r7c5 - (4=2)r7c6; r5c6<>2,
 
A second AIC that I also found looking for a xy-wing: (4)r5c6 - r2c6 = r2c9 - r6c9 = (4)r5c7; r5c6<>4,
 
type 1 UR18 in r78c17.
