To someone smarter than I,

On Page 52 in "Sudoku for your coffee break" by Will Shortz I have six numbers down but no more. I would be happy to email a copy of my page but I don't know how to send it through this forum.

Hi,

I got stuck with this puzzle:

Code: Select all

. . . | 7 . 6 | . 2 .
5 . . | . . 8 | . . 9
. . 7 | . . 2 | . . 3
------+-------+------
. . 8 | 2 . . | . . .
. 4 . | . 1 . | 7 3 .
1 5 . | . . . | 4 . .
------+-------+------
. . 5 | . 7 . | . 9 .
6 1 . | . . . | 8 . .
. . . | 4 8 . | 3 . 6


I made it this far:

Code: Select all

. . . | 7 . 6 | . 2 .
5 2 . | . . 8 | 6 7 9
. 6 7 | . . 2 | . . 3
------+-------+------
. . 8 | 2 . 4 | 9 . .
. 4 6 | . 1 . | 7 3 .
1 5 . | . . 7 | 4 . .
------+-------+------
. . 5 | 6 7 . | 2 9 .
6 1 . | . 2 . | 8 . 7
. . . | 4 8 . | 3 . 6


and with pencilmarks:

279   79   29   |  4    8     15   |  3   15  6


I think i already canceled a lot out, but now i'm stuck and just can't see what to do next
Also not sure if i made a mistake and that's why i'm stuck?

Would be really great if someone can have a look and give me a hint at what kind of pattern i should look next

Much thanks in advance,
Dominik
