About all I could find was an X-Wing on 3 in c48 leading to r1c7 and r7c2<>3 and the solution. A type 4 UR on 67 took out the 6s in r6c14 but didn't lead anywhere although I have a feeling I'm missing something there.

This was a puzzle like years ago before the XY- and XYZ-Wings were introduced. Then an X-Wing was all that was needed to solve them.

Can you put this into English for the rest of us?

Code:

+----------------+----------+--------------+
| 1    7    69   | 4   2 5  | 36  3689 368 |
| 3    4    8    | 9   7 6  | 5   12   12  |
| 2569 2569 569  | 8   1 3  | 4   69   7   |
+----------------+----------+--------------+
| 569  3569 2    | 56  8 19 | 136 7    4   |
| 67   8    4    | 67  3 12 | 9   5    12  |
| 5679 1    3569 | 567 4 29 | 8   236  36  |
+----------------+----------+--------------+
| 8    356  1356 | 2   9 4  | 7   136  356 |
| 26   236  7    | 1   5 8  | 236 4    9   |
| 4    259  159  | 3   6 7  | 12  18   58  |
+----------------+----------+--------------+


FYI - Hint is r1c7 = '6'.

Squares R4C2 and R4C7 in row 4 and R8C2 and R8C7 in row 8 form a Simple X-Wing pattern on possibility <3>. All other instances of this possibility in columns 2 and 7 can be removed.

R1C7 - can remove <3> from <36> leaving <6>.
R7C2 - can remove <3> from <356> leaving <56>.

Thank you very much. Brilliant when one sees it.

Again, thank you.
