This is rated .92 and all I've been able to do is two ERs and an XYZ.

| 5    19    167  | 2    4       89    | 138     168  379 |
+-----------------+--------------------+------------------+

| 4    6     23   | 57   (158)   -7(8) | (18)    9    23  |
+-----------------+--------------------+------------------+

(8)r9c6 = [hidden pair(18)r9c57] - (5)r9c5 = (5-6)r3c5 = (6)r3c3 - (6=4)r1c3 - (4)r1c7 = (4-7)r2c7 = (7)r2c6; r9c6 <> 7

this hinges around the almost hidden pair {1,8} in r9c57
if the 8 is true in r9c6, then obviously the 7 is false...
but if the 8 in r9c6 is false, then the hidden pair {1,8} is true in r9c57 and you can follow the chain around to see that the 7 still can't exist in r9c6.
