A hidden pair move unlocks it... seem to be a powerful technique on harder puzzles.

Marty: Congratulations on this BBDB !!!
Peter: Yes, I'm always surprised at how a Subset can crack so many puzzles. One of these days, I'm going to add it to my solver so I don't have to manually transform a network into something like ...
(via my solver) How about?
Code: | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 1 5 4 | 9 8 2 | 6 7 3 |
| 2 7 8 | 1 6 3 | 59 59 4 |
