				I found two three step solutions. The first used a step that Danny may not consider to be a VH+ step, so I found an alternate.
 
 
 	  | Quote: | 	 		  xy-wing 27-8 with vertex in r8c8,
 
skyscraper 6 in r2c28.
 
 
On my first pass, I then used a Type 2 UR56 in r18c56, which I consider to be the same level of difficulty as a Type 1.
 
 
On my second pass, I skipped the UR and used a w-wing 28 in r4c5 & r6c8.

				Ted: My lastest ranking of techniques can be found here. Your first solution qualifies!
 
 
I'm glad the recent BBDB postings are getting favorable responses!!!
