I corrected the title for this thread. Does anyone want to find the easy DP or either of the two (generalized) M-Wings present?

is this the DP? r3c6=9

no.
if a DP was involved in those cells, it would need to contain only three candidates. {2,5,8}
you are trying to form it with 4 candidates. {2,4,5,8}

look something like this.

Code:
+-------+---------+--------+
| . . . | . .  .  | . .  . |
| . . . | . .  25 | . 28 . |
| . . . | . 25 .  | . 28 . |
+-------+---------+--------+
| . . . | . 58 58 | . .  . |
| . . . | . .  .  | . .  . |
| . . . | . .  .  | . .  . |
+-------+---------+--------+

this situation can't exist.
one (or more) of those cells has to have an extra candidate.
like in my next post.

Dan,
have you ventured into any of the BUGlite threads on other forums? in some of the threads there are some nice diagrams of the different patterns.
