I find that once I pick a 5 or 7 for any one of the cells the others fall out, but then it looks like there can be two solutions. I'm sure I am missing something. Help me see the light.

Code: Select all

| 4 6 8 | 5 3 9 | 1 2 7 |

Please post your original puzzle as published, unsolved.

(The reference you gave showed easy to evil puzzles, but none looked remotely like yours.)
