				| Thanks for the puzzle immp!  After the basics: 
  	  | Code: |  	  | +-----------------+----------------+-----------------+ |  6    1   c24   | 9    2458 7    | 2458  45   3    |
 |  79   3    79   | 458  2458 45   | 24568 1    68   |
 |  5   d24   8    | 3    6    1    | 7     49  e249  |
 +-----------------+----------------+-----------------+
 |  8    247  3    | 45   9    245  | 1     6    2457 |
 |  1    9    247  | 456  3    2456 | 245   8    2457 |
 |  2-4  6    5    | 1    7    8    | 9     3   f24   |
 +-----------------+----------------+-----------------+
 |  27   27   1    | 4568 458  456  | 3     459  459  |
 | a49   8   b469  | 7    45   3    | 456   2    1    |
 |  3    5   b46   | 2    1    9    | 468   7    68   |
 +-----------------+----------------+-----------------+
 | 
 Then I used the following chain: (4=9)r8c1 - (9=4|6)r89c3 - (4=2)r1c3 - r3c2 = r3c9 - (2=4)r6c9 => r6c1 != 4; stte.

 remove <2> from r5c3 to solve
 
 If r5c3 = 2,  r1c3=4, r6c1=4 leads to no <4> in box 7

				| for those confused about tom's logic. hopefully this helps. the chain would be something like this.
 (2=4)r3c1 - (4)r89c3 = (4)r8c1 - (4=2)r6c1; eliminates the 2 in r5c3.
 this is a W-wing
