				Here's another I'm stuck on.
 
 
After basics and LOL, here is where I am:
 
 
[code]

| 25789  4    3        | 1   2578   257        | 6  2579   2789   |
 
+-------------------+-------------------+-------------------+
 
| 129    5    7        | 6   3       12             | 8  129    4       |
 
| 4      278 12569  | 789 1256789 12578 | 59 2578 3       |
 
| 6      278  4        | 3   278    9             | 1  58     2578    |
 
+-------------------+-------------------+-------------------+
 
| 3      178  19      | 789  4       58          | 2  6      15789   |
 
| 1289   6    129     | 5   1289    4           | 7  3      1289    |
 
| 125789 1278 1259  | 789 12789  6     | 3  4      12789  |
 
+-------------------+-------------------+-------------------+
 
 
The hint places a '5' in R1C7.  Can someone explain why? Hopefully I haven't missed something pretty basic. |

The 2 right-side 3X3 boxes have their 5s in only c6 and c8.
 
 
Therefore the box that includes r1c9 can only have a 5 in r1c7. |
