				| This gave me more trouble than the others. I played a half-dozen ordinary moves before reaching an impasse. I had to resort to a 13-13-18-18-38-38 DP. There were two numbers that could kill it; one led to a contradiction and the other solved it. I suspect the more advanced players could find better solutions. |

A type 4 UR ( 38 ) gets rid of 3 in r47c2, which leaves a naked single 3 in r1c2.
 
After cleanup and some coloring on 2, there are a couple w-wings (12)  in this position: 
 
 
(1) r1c3=r7c9 via col 8 and
 
(1) r1c8=r4c7 via col 3

				Unless I made a silly error, I finished it off with a kite on <2> in box 4 to delete the <2> in r3c7 and a w-wing <12> with strong link on <2> in col 3 to delete <1> from r3c7 & r5c8.

Nataraj, I just read your comments and I suspect that your coloring on <2> is effectively the same as my kite, and I used your second w-wing option to finish up.
