				| Hi everyone, 
 AIC in r1c7 (3,6):
 if r1c7=3 r9c7=6 r9c2=2 r9c3=7 r4c3=6 and no 6 in r1
 so r1c7=6
 
 Ciao Gianni

 (1=5)r4c9 - r3c9 = (5126)r3459c7 - (6)r1c7 = r1c3 - (6=7)r4c3 - r9c3 = (7)r9c9 => - 1r9c9; stte

				| There are a couple hidden pairs hiding in Clement's grid (i.e. 39 in row 7 and 35 in column 3) which gets you to the following grid.  (Clement's solution still works for this grid.) 
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | +--------------+----------+------------+
 | 8    9   46  | 7  2 5   | 36  1   34 |
 | 2456 236 35  | 9  1 46  | 7   246 8  |
 | 246  7   1   | 68 3 468 | 59  246 59 |
 +--------------+----------+------------+
 | 67   8   67  | 3  4 12  | 125 9   15 |
 | 3    5   9   | 28 6 128 | 12  47  47 |
 | 24   1   24  | 5  7 9   | 8   3   6  |
 +--------------+----------+------------+
 | 1    4   8   | 26 5 267 | 39  67  39 |
 | 567  36  35  | 1  9 67  | 4   8   2  |
 | 9    26  267 | 4  8 3   | 16  5   17 |
 +--------------+----------+------------+

 Then I saw that the 246 XYZ Wing with pivot at r3c1 didn't get me anywhere so I instead used practically the same chain that Gianni used to solve it: 6r1c7=(6-1)r9c7=(1-7)r9c9=r9c3-(7=6)r4c3 => r1c3<>6.
