				| I used a W-Wing on 67, followed by a pincer transport on same, then an XY-Wing on 179 with pincer transport. |  |

				| The single xy-wing <179> with pivot <17> in r1c3 did it for me.

 You might wish to double-check it.

				| In reviewing my original post, I realized that I failed to include a pincer transport of the xy-wing. The <9> in the pincer at r2c2 (marked P) is transported to r4c1 via r5c2 (marked T). This eliminates the <9> in r4c4 and solves the puzzle. 	  | daj95376 wrote: |  	  |  	  | tlanglet wrote: |  	  | The single xy-wing <179> with pivot <17> in r1c3 did it for me. |
