				| Looking at the potential DP 48-47-78, there are just two possibilities, r3c6=2 or r3c7=5. R3c7<>5 due to invalidity. |  |

				| Also three steps, but could not resist the BUG_lite with concentration on ANP()....... 
 
  	  | Quote: |  	  | BUG_lite (478)r23c167: to prevent DP r3c7=2 or r3c7=5 (7=2)r3c5-BUG_lite (478)r23c167[(2)r3c6=(5)r3c7]-(5=7)r3c8; r3c67<>7
 plus transport: (7)r3c5-r9c5=(7)r8c6 & (7)r3c8-r3c5=r9c5-r9c13=r7c1-r4c1=r5c3-r5c78=r4c9; r8c9<>7
 
 ANP(26=9)r45c4-r5c6=r8c6-(9=2)r8c9-r4c9=r4c4; r89c4<>2
 
 ANP(57=2)r5c78-r89c7=r8c9-r8c6=r3c6-(2=7)r3c5-r3c8=(7)r5c8; r3c8<>7
