				Hello all. I didn't attempt to solve this one using only the common VH techniques. I spotted a WXYZ-Wing of (1368) r3c6, r7c456. Hence r9c6<>3=4! stte

				The path for using VH techniques exclusively follows.
 
 
Step1: XY-Wing 34-8 in r39c6,r8c5=>r13c5,r7c6<>8. |

				Step 3: XYZ-Wing 1-34 in r1c4,r29c6=>r13c6<>3. 
 
Basics after that.

				| Hi immp!  Am I wrong?  I thought I solved this one with just one VH move?  The 134 XYZ Wing with pivot at r2c6 and tips at r1c4 and r9c6 (-3r13c6). |
