				| Focus on <7> eh! An x wing on <7> did much damage followed by two ERs on <7> and an xyz wing and an xy wing that also removed <7>s.
 But somewhere in there I also used an ER using the two <7>s in C8 and extended pincers from Box 5 to Box 1 which whacked the <7> in R7C4.
 All in all - quite brilliantly executed
