been addicted for about a month...getting better but must be missing a logic step and dont always finish a "harder" puzzle. This is where i'm stuck:
482x1367x
3162xx84x
795648x1x
863452791
947361528
251x8x436
6781x495x
x29xx6x84
x348xxx67
I have checked my answers and all numbers are correct, so far...just need another logic step to help me in the future. Hate to not finish a puzzle! Is there ever a time where you just have to guess (trial and error)? |

BTW, for the puzzle you posted you can aslo use the folowing techniques for a next step:
-BUG
-Forcing chain
