I like the one stepper where x-wing is a step.

If you use One Stepper in the title and/or the intro line, then there won't be any confusion.

Thanks Danny,

Done. This puzzle seems fishy to me.

It's 2x overlapping Sashimi Swordfish. And, it's the cousin to the 2x overlapping Sashimi X-Wing ... also known as a Skyscraper. ([c6] binds the endpoints of the almost Skyscaper to where it works.) Note the additional eliminations!

Code:

*-----------------------------------------------------------*
| 45 8 79 | 2 6 3 | 459 457 1 |
| 457 6 2 | 1 9 *45 | 3 8 *57 |
| 3 *59 1 | 48 7 *458 | 2 459 6 |
|-------------------+-------------------+-------------------|
| 2 4 8 | 6 5 1 | 7 3 9 |
| 6 137 357 | 9 2 47 | 145 145 8 |
| 9 17 57 | 48 3 478 | 1456 1456 2 |
|-------------------+-------------------+-------------------|
| 8 *25 6 | 7 4 9 | 1-5 12-5 3 |
| 7-5 29 4 | 3 1 6 | 8 29 *57 |
| 1 37 379 | 5 8 2 | 69 67 4 |
*-----------------------------------------------------------*

I call it a Siamese Sashimi Swordfish and, just like in a Skyscraper, I claim all eliminations in one step.

Thanks Danny, Very Happy

I didn't see the skyscraper. It is a neat way to solve a puzzle in one step. I will keep an eye out for more.
