				I see the UR on 78 as a Type 4. (since there are only two 7s in C2/Box 1 you can remove the 8s). 
 
 
There's  also a skyscraper on 6. |

On my grid the four cells are 78-78-78-3789, making it a Type 1. After removing 78 from the polyvalue cell, box 1 is left with a 139 triple which removes 19 from r3c1, as Kuskey mentions. |

				| Not forgeting the XY-Wing 56 59 69 pivoted in r3c7 removing 6 in r7c9 which solves it as well. |

				After basics: 	  | Code: | 	 		  +----------------+----------------+----------------+
 
| 6    4    2    | 5    1    9    | 3    7    8    | 
 
| 5    78   19   | 3    2    78   | 4    16   69   | 
 
| 189  3789 139  | 6    4    78   | 59   125  259  | 
 
+----------------+----------------+----------------+
 
| 2    1    4    | 9    35   6    | 8    35   7    | 
 
| 3    5689 69   | 7    58   2    | 569  4    1    | 
 
| 89   5689 7    | 4    358  1    | 2    356  569  | 
 
+----------------+----------------+----------------+
 
| 4    36   136  | 12   9    5    | 7    8    26   | 
 
| 19   69   8    | 12   7    4    | 56   256  3    | 
 
| 7    2    5    | 8    6    3    | 1    9    4    | 
 
+----------------+----------------+----------------+ | 	  By the way, I don't see an X-wing.
 
 
There is also a 56-9 XY-wing in the grid above, which does not solve the puzzle.

I did my Type 4 before spotting the triple in R2 -so you could say I expeditiously saved finding two triples - or you could say I didn't do the basics properly. |

I have checked it twice Keith. The XY-Wing 56 59 69 solves it |

I said ALSO.
 
 
The 569 XY-wing in C7 R8 which takes out 9 in R3C2 does not solve it.
