I am lost with the XYZ pattern you are describing. Since I am totally lost with this "new" skill, can someone very painstakingly explain it to me step by step?

I have a 15 (C4,R2), 58(C4,R4), and 18(C4, R9). But, I can't find the w-y wing. What boxes are the 15, 58, 18 in? And, which is the pivot? |

I had already found the pair and quad. But, where is the XY wing? This is new to me and I still haven't found one yet on my own. |

Just when we think we're getting it.... Anyway, the next hint is a 7 in r1c6. We can't find the logic...Which doesn't mean much!

I am stuck. The hint took me to bottom right square putting a 1 in first column, middle row. Why? I can't figure out the logic. |
