Play this puzzle online at the Daily Sudoku site
 
 
The Attractive looking X wing on 6s doesn't appear to lead anywhere, but 
 
a couple of old faithfuls sort it out: (select box to view solution)
 
 	  | Quote: | 	 		  XY wing on 156 pivot c3r6 followed after some more
 
basics by a 125 XY wing - strangely with the same pivot! | 	  
 
 
A good test today.....

				Nice solution Dan! In fact it also looks like r2c6<>5- otherwise r3c6 would
 
be 1 and r6c6 would have to be 2- which is not possible due to the 29
 
59 pair in column 2. |
