the marked w-wing eliminates the 7 in r3c9...
 
 
Marty, curious to know if that was the same you saw.  I am thinking not since you used a pincer transport. |

Norm, I used the 79s in boxes 17 and transported a 7 from r2c1 to r3c9. Working from left to right, I had my W-Wing before I even noticed the ones on the right side. |

Marty, I am unable to find the strong link on 9 for the w-wing 79 in boxes 1 & 7. I guess I had to much fun over the weekend.

There's a lot to be said for fun weekends.
 
 
Try the 9s in column 2. Maybe they're called grouped strong links or something along those lines. |
