				| Interesting. 
 Solutions:  Remote Pairs (14) is a single shot.  The apparent UR (14) is invalid, yet does solve the puzzle.  Or a two stepper: x-wing (4) with a xyz-wing (147) accomplishes the same thing as the remote pair.

				| I used Earl's 1st step. 
 I can't remember the last time there were consecutive VHs.
