Maybe I'm blind today or did it wrong but have tried 2x... The hint is 9 in C2 R7. Can some tell me what I missed?

You have in column 4 the 5 and 7 needing to be in box 8. Once you remove the other 5s and 7s from that box you may see the answer. |

Hi Swando,
I was in similar "blind" mode on this one for days.
This evening I finally saw the numbers that broke the log jam.
Did you get it solved? If not, I'll give a hint.

Hello Zoelly,
Some of us are still in a "blind mode" on this one. May we have your hint, please?

everything happens with respect to box 8
first notice the 7's in column 5... they can only be in box 5 in col 5, so you can remove the 7 at r7c5 (pointing pair)
then notice the 8's in row 9... they can only exist in box 8 in row 9, so this removes the 8 in r9c1. (pointing pair)
the tricky one to see is the 5's like Marty mentioned... there are only two 5's in column 4 and they happen to exist in box 8. so this eliminates the 5's in r79c5 and r9c6. (box/line interaction)
after all that dust settles, with the 5 and 7 gone from r7c5, the {2,6} naked pair remains in row 7.
that naked pair should end the blindness. |

Thank you, Norm. I got it!!
It was one of those cases where it was right there in front of me but I didn’t see it until you pointed it out, patiently, and in very clear steps. I appreciate your assistance.
