I don't have much hair left..lol but for the life of me I can't figure out why the hint says a "6" in R3 C1

Code:

+--------------+----------------+----------+
| 3468 3467 38 | 3478 3468 5    | 2  1 9   |
| 9    3467 2  | 1347 346  136  | 67 5 8   |
| 68   1    5  | 78   9    2    | 67 3 4   |
+--------------+----------------+----------+
| 4568 456  1  | 48   7    9    | 3  2 56  |
| 3468 2    38 | 1348 5    1368 | 9  7 16  |
| 7    356  9  | 2    36   136  | 4  8 156 |
+--------------+----------------+----------+
| 1    8    4  | 9    2    7    | 5  6 3   |
| 2    9    6  | 5    38   38   | 1  4 7   |
| 35   35   7  | 6    1    4    | 8  9 2   |
+--------------+----------------+----------+

Hi Swando, I see that there are Locked Candidates of 4's in column 5 so you can eliminate the 4 from r12c4. Then I see that there's an X Wing on 8's in rows 3 and 4 so you can eliminate the 8 from r15c4 (but we still have not yet solved another cell). That opens up a 378 XY Wing at r1c34,r3c4 which eliminates the 8 from r3c1 so it must be 6!
