Got stuck after solving only three, had to get the draw hint Embarassed but can't quite see how the 2 in R1 C3 is the "next logical" move:

Code:
000 508 496
080 090 300
900 304 100
067 000 000
200 000 007
000 000 560
005 701 003
008 020 710
701 803 600


Since 2 belongs in column 2 on the bottom square (row 7 or 9, and because column 3 is full), top square has to get a 2 somewhere in column 3- but I can't see how to narrow it down further.

Thanks in advance, cheers Smile

000 508 496
080 a9b 30#
900 304 100
067 000 000
200 000 007
000 000 560
005 701 003
008 020 710
701 803 600

# = 5

You know either a or b has to be 2 since Row 8, Column 5 is a 2. So that eliminates all the 2s in other columns in row 2. So # sign has to be either 5, 8 or 9. Since 8 is in column 2 and 9 is in column 5, # has to be 5.

Oops, my bad. I meant # has to be 5, 7 or 8. Since 7 is in row 5 and 8 is in column 2, # has to be 5.
