				| I used two ERs and an X-Wing before turning to my Medusa crutch. After that, an XY-Wing Chain (48-89-89-89-49) finished it off. 
 Danny, as to your comment in the other thread about my perseverance, yes I do persevere, I can't stand to leave a puzzle unsolved, even if it means brute force trial-and-error.
