Here's another I'm stuck on.
After basics and LOL, here is where I am:
[code]
+-------------------+-------------------+-------------------+
| 125789 3 12569 | 4 1256789 12578 | 59 12578 126789 |
| 157 9 8 | 2 1567 3 | 4 157 167 |
| 25789 4 3 | 1 2578 257 | 6 2579 2789 |
+-------------------+-------------------+-------------------+
| 129 5 7 | 6 3 12 | 8 129 4 |
| 4 278 12569 | 789 1256789 12578 | 59 2578 3 |
| 6 278 4 | 3 278 9 | 1 58 2578 |
+-------------------+-------------------+-------------------+
| 3 178 19 | 789 4 58 | 2 6 15789 |
| 1289 6 129 | 5 1289 4 | 7 3 1289 |
| 125789 1278 1259 | 789 12789 6 | 3 4 12789 |
+-------------------+-------------------+-------------------+
The hint places a '5' in R1C7. Can someone explain why? Hopefully I haven't missed something pretty basic. |

The 2 right-side 3X3 boxes have their 5s in only c6 and c8.
Therefore the box that includes r1c9 can only have a 5 in r1c7. |
