				    like a hanging curve ball, this one was a change of pace that was ready to be knocked out of the yard.

				I took about five times as many steps but had lots of fun with it. 
 
 
Four ERs, Type 3 UR (35) with pseudo cell, XY-Wing Chain (58-38-38-38-35) with pincer transport and BUG+2. |

				I used a xy-wing 13-5 with pivot 13 in r2c4  and an extended pincer to delete 5 in r2c1 and solve the puzzle.
 
 
As a chain: (5=3)r2c3 - (3=1)r2c4 - (1=4)r6c4 - (4=7)r6c1 - (7=5)r8c1; r2c1<>5

				Two steps:
 
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  turbot fish/ER/Kite => [r2c6]<>3
 
<18> W-Wing         => [r4c6]<>1
