(After finding this contradiction while looking for a xy-wing, I realized  that coloring 1 also does the trick.)
 
 
w-wing (38) r3c7 & r8c5 SL(3)r9c57; r3c5<>8 |

				W-Wing (13) or Skyscraper (1) makes the same eliminations.
 
 
Potential DP (48 ), boxes 23; r3c6<>6 due to invalidity.
 
 
There was also an AER. If r7c7<>8, then an ER makes r9c6<>8. R7c7<>8 due to invalidity, thus the ER makes r9c6<>8.        |
