Hallo akif

One way forward is to see that r7c4 and r7c6 between them contain 3 and 8 and nothing else, i.e. {3,8}.
Although we don't know exactly where this 3 is, it affects what can be a 3 in box9, i.e. r7c9 can't be a 3.

Having found the 3 in box9, you could continue in the same sort of vein with {1,9} in col9.

By the way, you have arrived at an interesting constellation with row7 and box8.
Because the unshared parts of row7 and the unshared part of box8 must have the same values, fitting one into the other leads directly to
{1,9} in r7c3 and r7c9
{5,6} in r8c4 and r9c5.

Yes. My coworker and I came up with different solutions for this puzzle. Strange.

Hi there,

Actually, there is only one solution to this problem. If you send me what you ended up with, maybe I can help you??

Cheers.

This is an excellent way of explaining this logical phenomenon.
It suggests a "visual" approach to solution rather than the
searching for patterns within profiles held within cells.

Line 5 was quite interesting in that the line profile started as
(4)(7)(1235689)
and at one point became
(3)(4)(7) (19)(28)(56)
with three pairs on the same line.
Has anyone encountered FOUR pairs in the same line?

same here...

was hard to see it in 125689 and 1289 but once pointed out it became obvious Embarassed (usually find such hidden pairs in rows [left-right] than in columns [up-down])
