Having problems getting started with this one.

Only managed to put a couple of numbers in the first 2 rows and thats it!

Can you reproduce the startup clues here, for Ceefax-only helpers like me.

---3--1--
-6--9-73-
------8-6
---1-84--
-7-----8-
--29-6---
4-5------
-37-8--2-
--9--3---

placed an 8 in r1c3, a 6 in r1c5 and an 8 in r2c4.

Look at C7, there's only one place that the two can go. That helps place another two, then there's a naked pair to look for.

(Edit: actually, you don't need to use the naked pair at that point, there are several more naked and hidden singles)

Hope that helps.
