Finned x-wing 8 in c35; r6c4<>8 solves it.
Also the w-wing 38 with strong link 8 in col 4; r5c1<>3. |

| Another 1-stepper is the 378 xy-wing with pivot at r6c4 setting r1c3<>7. |

After basics (this is for the benefit of a new member if he or she is interested).
| Code: |
+---------+----------+-------+
| 2 4 37 | 37 1 5 | 6 8 9 |
| 1 6 78 | 9 78 4 | 5 2 3 |
| 38 9 5 | 38 6 2 | 4 1 7 |
+---------+----------+-------+
| 7 1 9 | 2 4 6 | 8 3 5 |
| 38 2 4 | 5 38 1 | 9 7 6 |
| 6 5 38 | 78 378 9 | 1 4 2 |
+---------+----------+-------+

Analysis courtesy of Sudoku Susser:
* Squares R3C4 and R5C5 form a remote naked pair. <38> can be removed from any square that a buddy to both of them.
R2C5 - removing <8> from <78> leaving <7>.
R6C4 - removing <8> from <78> leaving <7>.
OR:
Squares R6C3 (XY), R1C3 (XZ) and R6C4 (YZ) form an XY-Wing pattern on <7>. All squares that are buddies of both the XZ and YZ squares cannot be <7>.
R1C4 - can remove <7> from <37> leaving <3>.
OR:
Squares R6C4 (XY), R1C4 (XZ) and R6C3 (YZ) form an XY-Wing pattern on <3>. All squares that are buddies of both the XZ and YZ squares cannot be <3>.
R1C3 - can remove <3> from <37> leaving <7>.
OR:
A BUG in the puzzle forces R6C5 to be <8>.
There is also a W-wing that I have marked above. No doubt there are other moves of similar difficulty.

George, I'm sorry, I just don't understand your statements. I do see where that 8 is removed by the Skyscraper in r25. |
