				Something strange is going on these days that I can be 2 days behind & be the first to respond!  Could it be that it was just too easy for the "usual suspects" to bother with?  O well, I enjoyed it.
 
 
UR 36 w/X Wing on 6; r45c7<>3
 
UR 59 w/SL on 9 in c3; r1c4<>5
 
Remote Pairs 58; r5c6<>58 = 9
 
UR 79 Type 1;  r6c8<>79 = 5

After "basics" a single skyscraper on 8 solves it. If a puzzles solves with only the Simple Sudoku Technique Set  (SSTS) it might not garner as much attention. |

There have been numerous times when my two-day-old response was the first. I've seen a definite pattern of people doing the harder ones first.
 
 
My solution was essentially the same as Luke's, except I saw a simple four-cell coloring chain on 8; r5c6<>8. |
