A type 3 UR 27 in r26c12 creates a pseudocell 149 which forms a subset with the 149 in cells r1c2 & r2c3 to delete 149 in r3c1.
a x-wing on 5,
an AIC by extending the vertex of a potential xy-wing 1-45. (4=1)r3c5 - (1=5)r6c5 - (5)r9c5 = (5)r9c8 - (5=4)r8c9; r3c9<>4.
flightless xy-wing 1-47 with vertex in r3c9 plus transport,
x-wing on 4 r19c28,
BUG+2 forces r5c9=5 to complete the puzzle.

I had fun but it took me a million moves. X-Wings, W-Wing, URs, XYZ-Wing and a few colorings. I noticed a triple late and who knows if not noticing it earlier caused me to use more moves. |

This is the first puzzle from a set generated by tweaking my puzzle generator. Because it's so involved, I'll go back to the previous version of my puzzle generator for future puzzles.

Yes, but one test case is not a valid database to make a final decision.
