the 23rd letter of the alphabet has meaning with this puzzle.

I used an XY-Wing (153), then transported a pincer for more eliminations, then finished with Remote Pairs). After the wing, I wondered if the Remote Pairs might've been available earlier, but I didn't do it a second time to find out.

Marty,

I believe this one can be solved with only a remote pair. My own p&p solution was not that simple.

I did try it again and see that Remote Pairs can do it if I bypass the XY-Wing.

A skyscraper on 3 also completes the puzzle.

I don't know what you call an ER with two hinges - but anyway there are only two <3>s in R8. The left one goes thru the hinge in B4 to whack R4C8 - the right one does the same thru the hinge in B3.
Ted's skyscraper probably did the same thing more easily.
