 Or, you can solve it with a kite (skyscraper) and then an XY-wing. 	  | Code: |  	  | +----------------+----------------+----------------+ | 6    5    34   | 8    2    49   | 1    479  347  |
 | 2    49   1    | 3    7    6    | 5    489  48   |
 | 8    349  7    | 5    1    49   | 2    6    34   |
 +----------------+----------------+----------------+
 | 9    2    36   | 67   4    37   | 8    5    1    |
 | 1    368  368  | 269  5    23   | 679  247  2467 |
 | 4    7    5    | 269  8    1    | 69   3    26   |
 +----------------+----------------+----------------+
 | 3    1    9    | 27   6    8    | 4    27   5    |
 | 7    46   246  | 1    9    5    | 3    28   268  |
 | 5    68   268  | 4    3    27   | 67   1    9    |
 +----------------+----------------+----------------+
