				| I would've preferred a non-chain solution, but there are at least two XY-Chains and one AIC whereby r6c5=5 proves r3c6=4; r3c5<>4.

 Look for a nice Sue de Cog in Block 5 and Col 4. Finished with a Bug+1
 
 A simpler solution is:

 Nice one. Not surprisingly, bilocals work too.
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | BUG ||
 (49-1)r4c6 = (1)r6c6

 (4-2)r4c4 = (2-1)r4c6 = (1)r6c6

 (3)r6c6
 
 => (1=3)r6c6 => r6c6<>6; stte
