				| 
 |  
				| I wondered whether a BUG +2 is valid . i.e there are two chains each of which would put a 5 in row 2 if Bug +1 logic were to be applied to the chain. so r2c6 cannot be 5???? Can anyone enlighten me?

				| After basics: Yes, I believe there is a BUG+2:  One of R2C27 must be 5, eliminating 5 in R2C69. 	  | Code: |  	  | +-------------+-------------+-------------+ | 29  35  4   | 7   19  35  | 6   12  8   |
 | 7   358 6   | 2   18  35  | 145 9   45  |
 | 29  58  1   | 4   89  6   | 57  27  3   |
 +-------------+-------------+-------------+
 | 5   6   8   | 3   2   1   | 47  47  9   |
 | 4   1   9   | 5   7   8   | 3   6   2   |
 | 3   7   2   | 6   4   9   | 8   5   1   |
 +-------------+-------------+-------------+
 | 8   4   7   | 9   36  2   | 15  13  56  |
 | 6   2   3   | 1   5   4   | 9   8   7   |
 | 1   9   5   | 8   36  7   | 2   34  46  |

				| In addition to the UR and two XY-Wings and BUG+2, there are at least two XY-Chains which also solve in one step. |  |

				| Marty, 
 I see only one XY-wing -457, but I do also see an XYZ-wing 14-5.

 You're correct, sorry, I got careless.

				| I used the 358 UR... this one seemed pretty simple. It took me less than 20 seconds after basics to spot it. And I immediately spotted an XY chain |  |

				| The UR just pops out at you. The XY wing on 457 or the XYZ wing 145 works equally well. |  |
