Can you PLEASE give me the next few moves on this puzzle - it starts like this.

Code: Select all

 *-----------*
 |.9.|8..|5..|
 |...|...|3..|
 |.2.|.5.|.9.|
 |---+---+---|
 |21.|5..|..6|
 |...|6.3|...|
 |...|..1|.78|
 |---+---+---|
 |.4.|.9.|...|
 |5.1|...|...|
 |..8|..5|.4.|
 *-----------*


I could only determine three of the cells so far before being stuck!

The puzzle as shown, original and your stuck state, cannot be solved. Maybe you copied it wrong?

That is wonderful news - maybe I am not as dense as I thought? I will check the original again when I get back to work on Monday.
