				| My first pass involved six steps to complete; finned x-wing, x-wing, Kraken x-wing, Type 1 UR, xy-wing and xyz-wing. 
 I then did a re-pass and also found Norm's one-stepper.

				| My first step was the W-Wing, but it didn't take me very far unless I missed something. Then an ER on 2 followed by an X-Wing on 8 which broke it open. |  |
