				| I took the basics a bit further - only the one 9 in box 1 and only the one 7 in box 6. Then the w-wing. |  |

				| There's a column X-wing on 8, though it doesn't help much. For the rest, I too could only see the W-wing. |  |

 There is an x-wing 7 that along with the x-wing 8 will solve it. I like the w-wing solution best.

				| After the basics there is a X wing on 1 in r5c4 r5c6 r8c4 r8c6 which eliminates 1 from r3c4. 
 After X wing there is X-Y wing on 25 26 56 with pivot in r3c4 xx eliminates
 6 from r2c7 and rac8.
 
 after that there is another X-Y wing on 68 36 38 with pivot in r8c8 xx eliminates  3 from r2c7.
 
 that last X-Y wing creates naked triples in box 3 which solves the puzzle

				| Two x-wings (7, 8) did it for me.  I could not find a single bullet. Norm?
