For column 3, Number 6 is only possible in cell (3,5) | ||
For row 2, number 1 is only possible in cell (8,2) | ||
For box 5, candidates for 1 are all in column 6, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
For box 6, candidates for 4 are all in row 5, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
Number 5 is the only value possible in cell (1,5). | ||
Candidates for 9 in boxes 5 and 8 force the candidates in box 2 to be in the remaining line. | ||
Naked Pair for 3 and 6, can remove these as candidates from other cells. | ||
Naked Pair for 4 and 8, can remove these as candidates from other cells. | ||
Naked Pair for 1 and 8, can remove these as candidates from other cells. | ||
Candidates for 8 in boxes 2 and 5 force the candidates in box 8 to be in the remaining line. | ||
