				It's a two stepper if you start with this:
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  r4c8=5 => r4c7=8 => r4c1<>8
 
r9c8=5 => r7c9=6 => r7c1=8 => r4c1<>8 | 	  
 
Sorry about the syntax, I stil struggle with Eureka!

I was able to follow your logic. That's what's important. |

Help me, I'm just not seeing how r4c8=5 leads to r4c7=8. |

You missed an elimination in r4c7.
 
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		   r8  b9  Naked  Pair                     <> 38   r7c9,r9c8
 
   c9    Naked  Pair                     <> 38   r237c9
 
 
   c7b3  Locked Candidate 1              <> 3    r4c7
 
 
 after basics
 
 +--------------------------------------------------------------+
 
 |  1     7     69    |  489   3     5     |  48    68    2     |
 
 |  2     8     359   |  49    6     1     |  345   7     59    |
 
 |  369   356   4     |  89    7     2     |  358   1     569   |
 
 |--------------------+--------------------+--------------------|
 
 |  368   36    7     |  1     2     9     |  58    358   4     |
 
 |  4     2     38    |  6     5     7     |  1     9     38    |
 
 |  5     9     1     |  3     8     4     |  6     2     7     |
 
 |--------------------+--------------------+--------------------|
 
 |  68    1     568   |  2     9     3     |  7     4     56    |
 
 |  7     4     2     |  5     1     6     |  9     38    38    |
 
 |  369   356   3569  |  7     4     8     |  2     56    1     |
 
 +--------------------------------------------------------------+
 
 # 42 eliminations remain
 
 | 	  
 
Another way to present SudoQ's logic:
 
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  if   r4c7<>8
 
then r4c7= 5
 
then r4c8<>5
 
then r9c8= 5
 
then r7c9<>5
 
then r7c9= 6
 
then r7c1<>6
 
then r7c1= 8  =>  r4c1<>8
 
 | 	  
 
As an AIC:
 
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  (8=5)r4c7 - (5)r4c8 = (5)r9c8 - (5=6)r7c9 - (6=8)r7c1  =>  r4c1<>8
