				| I'll go 1st for a change.  An X-wing and an XY-wing is one method. Or how about an M-wing (in 17s)?

 Victor, I followed your example: an x-wing on <6> and an xy-wing on <147> that deleted <1> from r46c5.

				| same solution here. I opened a new thread because I didn't see one for today (May 3) and only now realized you guys had already started. Better change the subject to May 3 so I can delete the other thread ... |  |

 this is my position along my path, and where I found the marked x-wing on 6.
 that x-wing opens up some naked pairs, etc...
 which opened up the xy-wing as mentioned on {1,4,7} in boxes 2 and 8.  but my xy-wing eliminated a 1 in r8c4

				| We have two threads for the same puzzle due to accidental postings, so this one is now locked and additional comments can be made in the other one. Thank you. |  |
