				| I did not actually finish the puzzle, but it looked like there was a choice of at least three one-steppers. BUG+1, XY-Wing and W-Wing. |  |

				| So, I went hunting.  After basics: 
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | +-------------+-------------+-------------+ | 9   7   6   | 8   3   1   | 2   4   5   |
 | 3   2   8   | 5   6   4   | 7   1   9   |
 | 5   1   4   | 2   7   9   | 3   6   8   |
 +-------------+-------------+-------------+
 | 4   69  19  | 3   2   7   | 5   8   16  |
 | 67  5   2   | 14  14  8   | 9   3   67  |
 | 17  8   3   | 9   5   6   | 4   2   17  |
 +-------------+-------------+-------------+
 | 2   3   19  | 16  189 5   | 68  7   4   |
 | 8   69  7   | 46  49  2   | 1   5   3   |
 | 16  4   5   | 7   18  3   | 68  9   2   |
 +-------------+-------------+-------------+
 | 
 
 Bug +1
 XY 1-69
 XY 16-8
 XY 1-68
 XYZ -189
 W -16
 
 You can find an XY chain to make an elimination in every cell!
