				Another two-stepper.  After basics: 	  | Code: | 	 		  +----------------+----------------+----------------+
 
| 16   27   24   | 234  367  5    | 9    8    13   | 
 
| 16   3    258  | 28   9    78   | 4    67   15   | 
 
| 9    78   458  | 1    3678 3478 | 2    67   35   | 
 
+----------------+----------------+----------------+
 
| 5    9    6    | 38   2    38   | 7    1    4    | 
 
| 28   4    28   | 7    5    1    | 6    3    9    | 
 
| 3    1    7    | 6    4    9    | 8    5    2    | 
 
+----------------+----------------+----------------+
 
| 48   5    9    | 348  38   6    | 1    2    7    | 
 
| 27   6    3    | 9    1    27   | 5    4    8    | 
 
| 2478 28   1    | 5    78   2478 | 3    9    6    | 
 
+----------------+----------------+----------------+ | 	  
 
XY-wing 2-78 takes out 7 in R1C5. 
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  +-------------+-------------+-------------+
 
| 16  7   24  | 24  36  5   | 9   8   13  | 
 
| 16  3   25  | 28  9   78  | 4   67  15  | 
 
| 9   8   45  | 1   367 347 | 2   67  35  | 
 
+-------------+-------------+-------------+
 
| 5   9   6   | 38  2   38  | 7   1   4   | 
 
| 2   4   8   | 7   5   1   | 6   3   9   | 
 
| 3   1   7   | 6   4   9   | 8   5   2   | 
 
+-------------+-------------+-------------+
 
| 48  5   9   | 34  38  6   | 1   2   7   | 
 
| 7   6   3   | 9   1   2   | 5   4   8   | 
 
| 48  2   1   | 5   78  47  | 3   9   6   | 
 
+-------------+-------------+-------------+ | 	  
 
M-wing:  4 in R7C4 forces 4 in R3C6.  R7C4 and R4C6 are pincers on 3;  R4C4 is not 3.
