The basics were interesting. After basics:

| 9    4    8    | 2    6    7    | 3    5    1    |
| 7    3    2    | 5    9    1    | 6    8    4    |
+----------------+----------------+----------------+
| 1345 26   145  | 68   45   349  | 7    249  258  |
| 8    7    45   | 1    245  249  | 59   3    6    |

Same as Peter, but I would have worded it differently. To break up the potential 26-68-28 DP either r4c9 or r6c9 must be =5.

Yes, but you failed to draw a conclusion from your or condition.

Peter went on to make the conclusion r5c7<>5 ... but it would have been more accurate if he'd written r5c7,r9c9<>5.

Marty, I can see my description was a little terse, sorry - though I think it said everything that you said!

Danny, thanks for pointing out the other elimination.

The explanations of the DP elimination were clear to me.

May I join you? I agree the basics were interesting. I used regular techniques - an x wing on 5 - an xyz wing 459 - and an ER on 4. Maybe I didn't need them all.
