				| Three steps. The first two were identical to those by JC, and my last step was the same as Marty's last step.

 JC,
 
 I still find myself on shaky ground sometimes trying to determine if I have a valid BUG pattern; this is a example of that situation.  I concluded it was not a valid BUG because of the four occurrences of digit 9 , but if it had been valid, I would have labeled it a BUG+3, not BUG+1 since three cells had were not bivalues.
 
 Would you please explain your last step?
 
 Ted

				| Ted, the last step should have been : X Wing (7)C37 : => r3c8<>7
However, Kite (7)R8C6 was sufficient after the 1st step !BUG+1 or BUG+2 (?) : SIS[(9)r1c8,(9)r3c7] (otherwise BUG) : => r2c7,r3c8<>9
 Regards, JC
