				| I solved the following but I think it was luck/intuition and not logic.  Or if it was logic, I haven't a clue why it worked.  I intuitively used a type 4 UR on R5C6/7 and R8C6/7.  Or maybe it was just luck afterall.  Any help?

				| tts, 
 You need to make sure you put the [/code] at the end of your grid !
 
 
 
   
 Talk us through which pairs make the deadly pattern for your UR.....
   
 If that doesn't work, try looking at r3c7 r2c9 and r2c2.....

 okay, I figured it really wasn't an UR.  But I appreciate the fact that now I know there isn't one at all.  Thanks, Marty.
 
 MM:  I tried looking at the xy wings, just couldn't find any that I could work out.  I just went back and fiddled around with the cells you gave.  Then found another xy wing and it worked out easily.  Thanks!
 
 I keep a list of solving techniques on hand.  Just can't always see them in the puzzles.  Still working on  the xy wings---obviously.

 Forgot to thank you for the warm welcome.  I have been lurking for about a year.  Finding lots of help/hints and becoming a rather successful player thanks to all of you!

				| Well done tts.  Sorry if you thought my reply was a bit oblique but I was trying to get into your thought processes there regarding the UR. |  |
