				| Surprised that nobody had started a thread by this time. I used two moves that are not part of the puzzle requirements.

				| I kind of lost track of how I got to this point, but I think it was just basics to get here. There is a 1-3-5 xyz wing although I don't think that does much good.
 A 1-7-9 xy wing cracked it for me.

				| Having missed the exclusion of 9s in the 3rd col of box 7 there was no XY wing for me so I used the 19 W- wing in boxes 7 and 9 operating on the 1s in row7 to solve it via pretty much the same next couple of moves as the XY wing leads to!
