Interesting! My final PM resembles a BUG+2, but I can't get it to work as a BUG+2 in my head.

Code:

Norm,

Are you trying to make me happy?

Edit: After an X-wing 4, an XY-wing -239 and an XYZ-wing 56-9

I get to here:


Code:
+-------------+-------------+-------------+
| 2   8   49  | 6   45  7   | 159 3   15  |
| 1   6   5   | 3   9   2   | 4   7   8   |
| 7   349 39  | 45  1   8   | 2   69  569 |
+-------------+-------------+-------------+
| 8   49  7   | 45  56  3   | 69  1   2   |
| 5   39  239 | 7   26  1   | 8   69  4   |
| 6   1   24  | 8   24  9   | 7   5   3   |
+-------------+-------------+-------------+
| 3   5   8   | 9   7   4   | 16  2   16  |
| 9   2   6   | 1   8   5   | 3   4   7   |
| 4   7   1   | 2   3   6   | 59  8   59  |
+-------------+-------------+-------------+

There is a hidden UR <39> in R35C23. R3C3 and R5C2 must be <3>. This opens up a skyscraper which takes out <9> in R1C7. The puzzle is toast!

Edit: Deleted incorrect comment on the BUG+2.

Danny,

The Deadly Pattern is such that every unsolved cell has two candidates, and that each candidate exists exactly twice in each row, column and box.

I cannot see a potential DP here.

Keith, there's nothing hidden, it's a full Type 6. I actually used seven ordinary moves, with the Type 6 and coloring on 9 as the last two. That last coloring takes out the same 9 as your skyscraper. I probably had the skyscraper and didn't notice it.

I'm strangely stuck here. I used the x-wings on 4, an xy wing on 249 and and ER on 9 and have actually gone further than Keith's grid - in R3C2 I just have a 34 and in R5C3 a 23. As such I can't see any UR.

BUT I still have a 159 in R1C9. How did the 9 get removed?

Keith referred to an XYZ-wing 56-9.

I suspect this is pivoted on r3c9 and does the trick.

Yes, quite! Thank you. Though still don't see last move - the colouring doesn't seem to work.
