				Ok I am must be missing something since I can't seem to solve this
 
one... Does anyone have an idea how to solve it ?
 
I can't find any quad pairs or X-wings since that is about as far  as
 
my knowledge goes.....

				You have missed a locked pair of fours and an x-wing on 6s.   |

				Oh damn..... THANK YOU... I really thought I have covered
 
everything twice and I left such an obvious X-Wing out there.
 
My only question to you is about the locked pair of fours
 
you were talking about the pair (2,4) in r3c2 and r7c2, right ?
 
 
I actually did find this one but forgot to change this one at
 
the dialysudoku site when I created the ASCII verison.
 
(all though this pair didn't help me)
 
 
The X-wing on 16, 16 and 6,9 and 6,9 of course solved
 
the puzzle.
 
 
Thanx

Sorry can't figure out what you mean with that. I just was looking
 
to hard at fours.....

D | 	   The 246 pair in row 7 and columns 2 and 3 have the only 4s in row 7. One of them must be a 4 so r8c3 cannot be 4.  This isn't a critical step but I thought that you would like to know that you missed it.
