				The old reliable xy-wing wasn't apparent, so I had to look higher.
 
 
A Solution:  Skyscraper in 2.

				| I used an XY followed by a Kite for the same number as your Skyscraper. |

				| An xy-wing (169) followed by an xyz-wing (469) solved it. |

				If you really want to use xy wings, it takes 3:
 
 
-169 xy-wing (or 16-9 xy-wing)
 
2-69 xy-wing
 
-489 xy-wing |

				| This one started out quickly, but it took me a little while to see the xyz and then xy that solved it! Nice challenge. |
