				| Seeing as you didn't post a grid, I won't either. There was an eight-cell potential DP, or Bug Lite or Mug or whatever the proper term is, but I couldn't do anything with it, at least as far as a one-stepper. 
 Skyscraper on 1 in r37; r2c5<>1.

 A UR 12 or a skyscraper on 1 solve it.  The remote pair 16 does not help much, but it does destroy (or hide) the UR.

 Marty, since I post these puzzles, I prefer not to be the first to post a solution.
 
 Balance that with the fact that the difficulty is so variable, and I like also to give an indication of the difficulty.
