Hallo to everyone...

I'm really stuck with this one... this is not my first "very hard"... but I can't find a logical move to go ahead

this is the sudoku

5-* 834 -71
8-- 217 ---
1-7 596 3--

--- 95- 426
2-- 68- --7
659 472 813

9-5 768 1--
--- 149 --5
41- 325 7--

The sudoku drawer hint says that in * there is a 2, but I can't find a logical reason, for my "logical" thougts in * is possible a 2 or a 6...

please , help!!

thanks in advance,
Gab

Hi Gab,

There is a "triplet" in the second column with the numbers 2, 3, and 4: look in the 3rd, 5th, and 7th boxes down in that column. As a result, the 1st and 2nd boxes in the second column must contain 6 and 9 (not necessarily in that order), which is why there cannot be a 6 where you have *.

Happy solving!

John

Yes!!

I didn't think on that one... and was so simple :)

thank you SO much, sometimes Is very difficult to see the simple logic when you are angry with the sudoku that don't want to be solved :)

thanks again
