				I'm going to have to bone up on my basics. Ted's two steps were my first two, but I thought I needed more, which were a Type 4 UR (13) and an X-Wing (1).
 
 
P.S. 30 minutes later I did it again and solved it with the two steps. |

You're the first who ever accused me of having a great mind.         |
