				| Ted, 
 Is this the original puzzle?  There seem to be a lot of givens.  Anyway:
 
 M-wing 25 takes out 2 in R789C3. 	  | Code: |  	  | +----------------+----------------+----------------+ | 236  8    4    | 5    7    9    | 236  1    26   |
 | 5    36   369  | 8    1    2    | 369  4    7    |
 | 7    1    29   | 3    4    6    | 259  59   8    |
 +----------------+----------------+----------------+
 | 38   9    7    | 2    5    138  | 18   6    4    |
 | 238  235  1    | 4    6    38   | 7    58   9    |
 | 68   4    56   | 7    9    18   | 158  2    3    |
 +----------------+----------------+----------------+
 | 9    236  2368 | 1    28   4    | 268  7    5    |
 | 4    25   258  | 6    3    7    | 289  89   1    |
 | 1    7    268  | 9    28   5    | 4    3    26   |
 +----------------+----------------+----------------+
 | 
 
 W-wing 26 takes out 6 in R8C7, and the puzzle is toast.
