Just for the record I am actually having a little bit of trouble with X-Treme Dec 23 - but I'm sure I would be able to solve it if it wasn't Christmas and I had more time. 
I'll have another go when all the eating and drinking is over. In the meantime thanks Ruud for lots of fun on your forum.
Happy Christmas from Downunder! |

It has been fairly torrid getting to this point - I have used uniqueness and a lot of contradiction chains -
| Code: |
*--------------------------------------------------*
| 2 14 134 | 7 9 5 | 8 34 6 |
| 7 8 34 | 6 34 1 | 9 5 2 |
| 9 5 6 | 38 2 48 | 34 7 1 |
|----------------+----------------+----------------|
| 36 13 15 | 9 56 28 | 7 28 4 |
| 48 2 7 | 48 1 3 | 5 6 9 |
| 46 9 58 | 248 56 7 | 1 28 3 |
|----------------+----------------+----------------|
| 5 6 9 | 23 8 24 | 34 1 7 |
| 1 7 2 | 5 34 9 | 6 34 8 |
| 38 34 48 | 1 7 6 | 2 9 5 |
*--------------------------------------------------* |
Almost a BUG but not quite. Any ideas? |

An ALS move unlocks the puzzle emm 
ALS(A=[r9c1,r4c6]B=[r356c4], X = 2, Z= 3) -> r3c7<>3
But I can't get as far as emm has. Any more ideas?

you could start with the X-Wing for digit 4 in r37c67...
then there is this nice loop:
[r9c1]-8-[r4c6]=8=[r3c6]=4=[r3c7]=3=[r9c1] => r9c1<>8
several singles bring you to this point:
| Code: | .------------.------------.------------.
| 2 1-34 134| 7 9 5 | 8 *34 6 |
| 7 8 34 | 6 34 1 | 9 5 2 |
| 9 5 6 | 38 2 48 |*34 7 1 |
:------------+------------+------------:
| 36 13 135| 9 56 28 | 7 28 4 |
| 8 2 7 | 4 1 3 | 5 6 9 |
| 46 9 45 | 28 56 7 | 1 28 3 |
:------------+------------+------------:
| 5 6 9 | 23 8 24 | 34 1 7 |
| 1 7 2 | 5 34 9 | 6 34 8 |
|*34 *34 8 | 1 7 6 | 2 9 5 |
'------------'------------'------------' |
A remote pair using the diagonal causes a single 1 in r1c2.
That finally cracks it.
