				I used two XY-Wings:-
 
XY-Wing 69 29 26 pivoted in r2c9 sets r4c7<>6 leads to
 
XY-Wing 27 47 24 pivoted in r4c6 setting r4c4<>2; r6c7<>2 which solves it. |

You may very well be correct, but it's usually a good idea to try it again when this happens, just to be sure. On my first pass it was basics only, but on the 2nd try I used the same two wings that Clement did. |

				I executed the two XY wings described above, but I can't seem to solve the puzzle.  Here is what I get after the two XY wings plus removing a 6 from R8C8 and R8C7 (X wing).  I don't seem to be able to finish it up.  Could someone please bail me out before I go nuts.  Many thanks,

				| Jeff, it looks like on the 472 XY-Wing, you missed deleting the 2 from r4c4. Hope this helps you retain your sanity. |
