				| Just tossing this out because I enjoyed it. Took me nine moves, although I suspect it can be done with fewer. 
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | +-------+-------+-------+
 | . . . | . . . | 1 6 . |
 | 6 7 . | . 5 . | . . . |
 | . 1 8 | 3 . . | . . 5 |
 +-------+-------+-------+
 | . . . | 9 8 . | 5 . . |
 | . 2 . | 6 . 7 | . 1 . |
 | . . 7 | . 1 5 | . . . |
 +-------+-------+-------+
 | 5 . . | . . 1 | 7 3 . |
 | . . . | . 7 . | . 9 2 |
 | . 4 9 | . . . | . . . |

				| I thoroughly enjoyed the puzzle. No pencil marks and two W-Wings put it just up my street. 
 Thanks, Marty.

				| So my number of moves was 150% of Keith's and 450% of Steve's. Hmmm.    |  |

				| One less step: 
 1.  XY-wing 468
 2.  UR 4.
 3.  Swordfish 4.  (Can be seen as two skyscrapers.)
 4.  W-wing 8.
 5.  W-wing 2.

				| I used an XY, XYZ, coloring, Type 4, skyscraper and four Ws. I really have no idea how to solve a puzzle in the most efficient manner. When I see a move, I play it, and when I'm done, I can be pretty confident that not all the moves were required for the solution. |  |
