Doesn't really matter what you put in r5c7. Either way r4c9 < > 1. (a-d)
| Code: | +--------------+--------------+--------------+
| 27 78 5 | 9 1 28 | 3 6 4 |
| 12 9 4 | 3 5 6 | 7 128 128 |
| 3 18 6 | 4 7 28 | 9 12 5 |
+--------------+--------------+--------------+
| 8 5 137 | 2 9 137 | 6 4 13d |
| 9 2 13 | 6 4 5 | 18a 138 7 |
| 6 4 137 | 17 8 137 | 2 5 9 |
+--------------+--------------+--------------+
| 5 13 8 | 17 2 9 | 4 137 6 |
| 17 137 2 | 5 6 4 | 18b 9 138c |
| 4 6 9 | 8 3 17 | 5 127 12 |
+--------------+--------------+--------------+ |
Thanks Immp!

| On a solving note, this came to me when I saw what I thought was going to be a skyscraper on 1's ab and cd. The extra 1's in r29c9 put paid to that idea but then I noticed that the cd "leg" had another strong link on 3's which turned it into something a bit different. |

This took me a little while to understand this solution
I now can see it as if c=3, d=1, a=8 and then no <8> in box 9 |

In general if you see 3 strong links in a four sided structure it’s worth looking at. Whether a is 1 or 8 it eliminates 1 from r4c9.
Equally you could set r4c9 to 1 and your contradiction loop d-a-b-c would throw out the 1 you started with in r4c9 |

The ANP <137> in r8c12 also comes to the same conclusion:
ANP true and r8c7 = 8 r5c7 =1 and r4c9 < > 1
ANP false and r7c2 =1 r7c4= 7 r7c8 =3 so r5c8 < > 3 and r4c9 = 3 (< >1) |

Or.....c=3 d=1 so a=8
and at the same time
c=3 and b=8
Two 8's in column 7 |
