				My previous posts (obviously) used 1x SL for one UR value. There are other UR patterns that use 1x SL, but I'm not going to post them because I feel they are too complicated (for me) to ever spot. This is the first post using 2x SLs for one UR value.
 
 
===== ===== ===== ===== Mike Barker's UR+3C/2SL
 
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  2x SL in [c3] and [r2] for 1x value   (aka Hidden Unique Rectangle)

Puzzle from Mike Barker's "zoo" collection:
 
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  ..2.9......46.7....9...43..7.8.....9.4..2.8...5..3.1.....5.......6..89.........37

 |-----------------+-----------------+-----------------|
 
 |  9    27   3    |  5   *46+7 12   | *46+2 8    16   | <  SL on <4>
 
 |  14   27   6    |  3    47   8    |  9    12   5    |
 
 |  14   8    5    |  9   *46   12   | *46+2 3    7    |
 
 +-----------------------------------------------------+
 
 # 20 eliminations remain               ^                   SL on <4>
 
 
 r79c57  <46> UR via s-link              <> 6    r7c7
 
 | 	  
 
Ironically, even though the puzzle is practically solved, this elimination does not crack the puzzle. |

				I was all prepared to post this pattern separately, but RonK was kind enough to inform me that it was essentially equivalent to the above pattern because the implied X-Wing pattern would force an SL in [c3] if it didn't already exist. Ron was also kind enough to provide me with an example puzzle.
