				| Hi I am a newcomer to this. I solved the puzzle but had to use trial and error.
 When I went through using the hint function, I got stuck at first base.
 After all the obvious numbers had been entered, the hint function put in a '2' in row 5 col 3.
 For the life of me I cannot see why a 2 is the only option here.
 Can someone patient please explain?
 Thanks

				| The xy-wing 369 removes 6 from r8c8 and r9c8 which solves the puzzle. |  |
