I really struggled with this one and hacked my way to the finish line after EIGHT steps. I won't further embarrass myself by listing them.

Maybe it's a long shot, but it's possible to show that r3c3<>2.

Recently, I have not been very active playing sudoku but still try to make time available for the Friday Free Press. I may have messed up this weeks puzzle, but I found a VH type three step solution.

Code:
