Two solutions- there may be more (Select box to view)
 
 	  | Quote: | 	 		  A 'double' 125 XY-wing pivoted at r7c7 or r7c9 is a one step solution.
 
Pretty much the same numbers can be used for a 25 W-Wing which
 
also does it in 1 |

				| I also used the XY-Wing (12-5) pivoted in r6c7. There's also one pivoted in r5c9 but I don't see any pivoted in either r7c7 or r7c9. |
