I have the following board:

3** 145 ***
**1 *** ***
4** 7*8 *6*

**4 **9 ***
5*2 *** 6*7
*** 8** 4**

*3* 9*7 **6
*** *** 1**
*** 382 **9

I've reached here, and need your help:

36* 145 9**
**1 693 **4
459 728 361

6*4 2*9 ***
5*2 431 6*7
**3 8*6 4**

*35 917 *46
*** 564 1**
146 382 **9

10x,

Then look closely at the 2's in row 2.
