				I saw the 136 XYZ-wing pivoted r6c5; r6c6<>3 first. Strange because I usually see XY wings way before XYZ wings. Can someone explain what does the stte in Clements solution mean ?
 
 
Thanks,

				| stte = singles to the end (all that remain to complete the puzzle are singles). |

				| Thanks arkietech, if I learn the terminology and apply it I am hoping to get better. I also think your username is very clever and hope to some day understand your solution posts. You seem to be at a very high level of sudokuness and I appreciate the sharing of your wisdom. |
