				| It is long and hairy but it is one step:    	  | Code: |  	  | *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------* | 2       157     17      | 457     3       8       | 6       149     149     |

 *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------*
 (2)r4c5 = (2-6)r7c5 = r2c5 - (6-9)r2c3 - r7c3 = r7c6 - r5c6 = (9-2)r5c4 = (2)r4c5;
 r4c5=2
