				Norm, I had a different code set after basics. What is this "SSTS" thing?
 
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  
 
 *-----------------------------------------------------------*
 
 | 2     567   5679  | 59    8     67    | 3     4     1     |
 
 | 57    1     689   | 4     26    3     | 28    69    57    |
 
 | 3     5678  4     | 259   2567  1     | 28    69    57    |
 
 |-------------------+-------------------+-------------------|
 
 | 6     9     2     | 7     4     5     | 1     3     8     |
 
 | 1     38    38    | 6     9     2     | 7     5     4     |
 
 | 57    4     57    | 3     1     8     | 6     2     9     |
 
 |-------------------+-------------------+-------------------|
 
 | 4     2567  567   | 1     2567  67    | 9     8     3     |
 
 | 8     2357  357   | 25    2357  9     | 4     1     6     |
 
 | 9     36    1     | 8     36    4     | 5     7     2     |
 
 *-----------------------------------------------------------*

Starting with my code, I needed two steps.
 
 
AIC found extending the vertex of a potential xy-wing -347:
 
(3=6)r9c5 - r7c6 = r1c6 - (6=2)r2c5 - (2=8)r2c7 - r3c7 = r3c2 - (8=3)r5c2; r9c2<>3
 
 
The finishing step was a simple BUG+! that set r7c5=7.

				Ted, 
 
 
"SSTS" is the Simple Sudoku Technique Set
 
simple sudoku recognizes
 
basics
 
x-wings
 
xy-wings
 
swordfish
 
coloring
 
multi-coloring
 
 
in my haste I simply posted the grid after these techniques were filtered out. |

Thanks for the info Norm.
 
 
I think I will review my solution if I had started with the SSTS code.
