				| I had fun with this because I kept making mistakes.   
 Eventually I got it done right but I did need a UR, which I try to avoid, just to make things harder.
   2 skyscrapers,  a UR, an xy-wing and an xyz.

				| I just finished this and I see my reply from yesterday. Did I do it twice or reply to the wrong puzzle? Hmmm. At any rate, it was a seven-stepper and a fun challenge. |  |

				| I also had a seven step solution including an ER, a finned swordfish (which I later realized was the same as another ER), type 1 and type 2 URs, and two xy-wings. My last step was the w-wing on <39> which probably would have solved the puzzle much sooner.
