 2. BUG-Lite (58 )[(9)r2c5=(7)r3c2]-(7=289)r356c4 =>r2c4<>9
 | 
 After staring at that a while, I noticed ... BUG-Lite (58 )[(9)r2c5 = (7)r3c2] - (7=58)r1c5,r3c4 ==> r2c5<>58
 
 The AIC doesn't look any simpler, but it uses only one cell more than the BUG-Lite itself. It's a BUG-Lite equivalent to the UR+2kd pattern, probably named by Mike Barker. The 'k' in the name is for keith, who first posted this UR pattern. My search for keith's original post was not successful.

 That's squeaky clean. Not to mention cannibalic.

				| Luke, Ronk, nice work on the BUG-Lites... 
 For the record I had empty-rectangle practise..
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | er(3) c6, b6 ; r3c9<>3 er(8) r1, b5 ; r5c2<>8
 xy-wing(28-7) r5c4, r3c4, r5c2 ; r3c2<>7
 xy-wing(29-3) r4c2, r6c3, r4c9 ; r6c9<>3
