great solutions! my path was two ERI pairs, ill try and cram them both in the same diagram

ERI pair no. 1
(2=4)r5c2 – 4r5c46 = 4r46c5 – (4=2)r8c5 – 2r46c5 = 2r5c46 - 2r5c2 loop
=> -24r8c2 -24r2c5 -2r5c8
ERI pair no. 2
(6=8)r2c5 - 8r46c5 = 8r5c46 - (8=6)r5c8 - 6r5c46 = 6r46c5 - 6r2c5 loop
=> -68r2c8

this got me to notice a cool alternate way!

ERI pair with contradiction
(2=4)r5c2 – 4r5c46 = 4r46c5 – (4=2)r8c5 – 2r46c5 = 2r5c46 - 2r5c2
=> (xy=2,4) xr5c2 = yr8c5
if 4r2c5 & 2r5c8, then [2345] ALS in b7 goes down to only 2 candidates
=> -4r5c8 -2r8c5
