				A different one stepper.
 
 
 	  | Quote: | 	 		  xy-wing 5-79 with vertex in r4c1 deletes 7 in r9c3 which is really useless. However transporting 7 in r6c3 => r5c2 => r5c6 deletes 7 in r8c6 and completes the puzzle.

This just gave me a great idea. I think that I'll slip in a puzzle with all basics and send everyone into a tailspin.

You recently slipped me two BBDBers and I was definitely in a tailspin.

				| What a nightmare!! Three times I made mechanical errors and had to start over. But finally, an X-Wing (6), coloring (7), and an XY-Wing (597) with two pincer transports, not all of which were necessary. |
