Problem on med lvl sudoku

Postby dcj1978 » Tue Jun 21, 2005 12:24 am

I did a bunch of v. easy and easy sudoku in a row before going on to med lvl . I swear, I can't find anything else in this one. That may be because of the fact that i've been looking at these things for a couple hours now solving lower lvl ones.

Anyway..here it is..

Code: Select all
-------------
|...|...|.85|
|.58|21.|..9|
|96.|.8.|1..|
-------------
|5..|8..|.16|
|...|...|...|
|89.|..6|..7|
-------------
|..9|.78|452|
|3..|.54|...|
|485|...|...|
-------------


I'm sure the next step is sitting there slapping me in the face having a good old time..however, I cannot see it.

Please help a man that, in the future..will do nothing but count from 1 to 9 over and over again, causing little children to run and make up stories about crazy 9 man.:D

Thanks in advance
