the 3 in r8c1 would be the odd candidate out. placing 3 in r8c1 solves it.

I'm having much more fun by not using BUG+1 patterns. (No bias against uniqueness arguments. But, it's the journey, not the destination.)

1. A W-wing <37> takes out <7> in R8C1

2. An M-wing on the same cells takes out <3> in R9C1. (I think this one is really cool!)

And, by the way: A BUG+1 is always a great opportunity to do Medusa coloring.
