				Two possible xy wing solutions after the basics. Basics include a X wing

				Hi I am a newcomer to this.
 
I solved the puzzle but had to use trial and error.
 
When I went through using the hint function, I got stuck at first base.
 
After all the obvious numbers had been entered, the hint function put in a '2' in row 5 col 3.
 
For the life of me I cannot see why a 2 is the only option here.
 
Can someone patient please explain?
 
Thanks |

				| The xy-wing 369 removes 6 from r8c8 and r9c8 which solves the puzzle. |
