Yes, we know that col3/row5 and col3/row7 must contain 7 and 9 (even though we don't know which is in which square). Therefore we know col3/row1 and col3/row4 must contain the other missing numbers in that column, which are the numbers 3 and 5. Col3/row1 cannot contain the number 3, because that's in col9/row1, so the only option is for col3/row1 to contain the number 5. And that means col3/row4 must contain the 3.

(And after that you can solve the two missing squares in the top right hand 3x3 box.)

Because in column 1 the nine can only go where I said since it can't go in the other 2 blanks in the column. Process of elimination.

col3/row1 can't have a 9, because the only options for BOTH col3/row5 and col3/row7 are 7 or 9. If c3/r5 was the 9 then c3/r7 would have the 7, and vice versa. So neither the 9 nor the 7 can be used in the other two empty boxes at c3/r1 and c3/r4. C3/r1 and c3/r4 must therefore contain (in some order) the last two available numbers, the 3 and the 5. C3/r1 can't contain the 3 as it's in c9/r1, so it has to have the 5.

Sorry, this is really hard to explain in just words!

Okay, thanks for all of your help. Now I am up to this point:



Any other "one more number" w/ explanation?

You can do the rest of the top row, the missing numbers are 6 and 9 and there's already a 9 in col5.

This is crazy. When I woke up today, Julie's puzzle was the first thing I thought about. I'm SOOOOOOOO glad you were all able to solve it. How funny is it that the 3 ended up in the first place I (with faulty reasoning) guessed?

Yay team!

Missed all the Sudoku chatter. The game has sucked me right in and I've bought probably 8 or 9 books to tide me over when I can't get enough from the newspapers, then the other day I discovered I can play it online! Don't know why I didn't think of that sooner. LOL

Did anyone else get a notice from Avg that they are discontinuing the current free Avg, as of Jan, 2007?

They are offering a new paid for Avg program, a second choice and another free Avg program and asked me to choose. I selected, "remind me in 21 days". lol

it's a free anti virus, Cnd. Dra and others here recommended it and so i switched quite a while ago. It is free (well always used to be anyway) and updates and virus checks daily!!! I love it.

It works very well and doesn't cause conflicts and overhead issues like certain other anti-virus programs (*cough* norton *cough*).

i've always had Norton. what issues does it cause? i've never had any problems with it.

i've had tons of problems with Internet Explorer and that is why on my home computer i use Firefox.
