|
|
I haven't posted an "Other Puzzle" before - but this comes from a Canadian newspaper that never goes beyond the "Hard" level. So I assumed this one was in keeping with tradition - and yet I am stuck trying to solve it by basics alone.
Code: |
+-------+-------+-------+
| 8 . . | . 1 . | 4 7 . |
| 5 . . | . . . | . . . |
| 1 4 . | . . 6 | . 2 . |
+-------+-------+-------+
| . . . | . . 3 | . . . |
| 4 7 . | 9 . 2 | . 6 5 |
| . . . | 1 . . | . . . |
+-------+-------+-------+
| . 6 . | 4 . . | . 8 9 |
| . . . | . . . | . . 7 |
| . 5 8 | . 6 . | . . 4 |

I just did this with pencil & paper, no advanced moves required.
Maybe the key is to place 5, 6 and then 9 in R1?

Nope,
I used Nataraj' tool to put it in draw / play so that I could print it.
