				Take the correct wing to a quick exit.
 
 
Solution:  359 xy-wing does it. 358 is superfluous.

Ha ha, how about a s-l-o-w exit? I started working clockwise from the lower left and played three XY-Wings and an XY-Wing Chain before I got to the wing that actually did something. |

				I found two one steppers: 	  | Quote: | 	 		  There are two 359 wings -- one takes out a 5 the other a 3 
 
xy-wing 395 and xy-wing 593 both win on their own. |

				Earl,
 
One xy-wing 358 may be superfluous, but another is a one stepper.

this is a long shot, but are you capable of reproducing the steps you took in solving the puzzle?
 
and listing the basic techniques you used? |
