				| X-Wing 3 in line 5 and line 8--> r4c2<>3, r6c2<>3, r9c2<>3 and r9c8<3> Discontinuous nice loops
 If r5c4=7-->r8c4=5-->r8c8=3-->r5c8=7-->r8c4<>7 then  -7 r5c4

 Thank you Marty for saving what little sanity I have!  I knew there HAD to be a 'standard' solution (i.e. involving X-wings, XY-Wings, and XYZ-Wings only) but I didn't see it!  Hey, by the way, it's good to be back!
