Can't find the next step

Postby dcj1978 » Fri Jul 01, 2005 9:56 pm

My first try at a 'hard' puzzle. Got to the point where I did a few med with no pencil marks so I figured I was ready to give it a shot... but i'm stuck.

Just looking for a hint at the next step here.

Code: Select all
-------------
|9.4|2..|..7|
|.1.|...|...|
|...|7.6|5..|
-------------
|...|8..|294|
|.2.|9.4|.6.|
|.49|..2|.7.|
-------------
|2.1|637|45.|
|4..|.2.|.3.|
|3..|..5|7.2|
-------------


Thanks in advance

Look in row 3. There's only one possible cell each for three numbers.

wow...didn't see that at all. But once I got that, I was able to figure out the rest pretty quickly!

Thanks a lot!
