I'm stuck at this point:

Code:

+-------+-------+-------+
| 2 . . | . 3 . | 1 6 7 |
| 5 . . | 6 . . | 8 . . |
| . 1 6 | . . . | 3 . 5 |
+-------+-------+-------+
| . 7 4 | . . 3 | 2 . 8 |
| . 5 . | . . 8 | 4 . . |
| . . . | . 4 . | 9 . . |
+-------+-------+-------+
| . 2 . | 4 . 9 | 5 8 1 |
| 1 . . | . . . | 6 . . |
| 4 . . | . . . | 7 . . |
+-------+-------+-------+
