				It is startling to have so few unsolved cells and yet have difficulty.
 
 
A most excellent puzzle,  thanks Dan! |

				Basics got me to here:
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  
 
 | 6     5     39    | 7     4     1     | 39    2     8     |
 
 | 1     4     8     | 9     2     3     | 5     6     7     |
 
 | 39    7     2     | 8     6     5     | 139   34    14    |
 
 |-------------------+-------------------+-------------------|
 
 | 2     9     6     | 5     8     7     | 4     1     3     |
 
 | 8     1     4     | 3     9     2     | 6     7     5     |
 
 | 7     3     5     | 4     1     6     | 2     8     9     |
 
 |-------------------+-------------------+-------------------|
 
 | 35    2     137   | 6     37    9     | 8     345   14    |
 
 | 4     6     37    | 1     5     8     | 37    9     2     |
 
 | 359   8     1379  | 2     37    4     | 137   35    6     | | 	  
 
Then a x-wing<3> creates a w-wing<17> with strong link <7> in row<8>. The <1> in r7c3 is transported to r3c9 via r7c9  to delete <1> from r3c7 and finish off the puzzle.

				| It's always possible (probable?) that I did something wrong, but the X-Wing was all I needed. |
