| 345 8 *134 |*13 7 46 | 2 *1356 9 |
| 6 123 123 | 9 5 8 | 17 137 4 |
| 9 1345 7 | 13 2 46 | 15 8 36 |

| 347 346 8 | 5 9 2 | 14 146 67 |
|*25 256 9 | 4 1 7 | 3 *26 8 |
| 1 247 *24 | 6 8 3 | 479 2479 5 |
+-------------------+-------------------+-------------------+
A={R4C3,R4C4,R4C8,R8C1,R9C3,R8C8}
|A|=6
V(A)={123456} |V(A)|=6
The only values that can appear more then once are 2,5 but in the only way that 2 appear twice
R8C1 is still 5.
the conclusion is that 5 must appear in A.
and we get that r4c1<>5 that solve the puzzle.
