				| Thanks for the puzzle immp!  I settled for a 2-step solution and each step used a chain with a contradiction.  I hope some others post their solutions! |  |

				| r13c8 has an ANP 23-238.  IF (8=23) then puzzle solved r1c2 <> 6. However, when (23=8 ) I thought I had found a contradiction that proved r3c8 <> 8 but no...back to the drawing board .....fairly sure one could demonstrate that r3c8 <>8. (ed - you can because r6c6 becomes 3 which then creates a row of singles which in turn create multiple contradictions in blocks 8 and 9 so r3c8 def not 8 ) 
 R3c8 <> 8 wasn't one you found was it dongrave ?
