				| A full menu of one-steppers. Take your choice, Remote Pairs, simple or multi-coloring, W-Wing, XY-Wing or BUG+2. Probably more, but I stopped looking. |

				Here is the grid after basics. there is an x-wing on 1s, which served to eliminate a 1, but otherwise did not advance to a solution. It was an xy wing that solved it for me. I am guessing that coloring is a solution, but I don't know because I have no crayons.
