Number 9 is the only value possible in cell (1,6). | ||
Number 1 is the only value possible in cell (2,5). | ||
For column 5, Number 6 is only possible in cell (5,4) | ||
For box 6, candidates for 7 are all in column 8, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
For box 3, candidates for 5 are all in row 1, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
For box 1, candidates for 6 are all in row 1, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
Naked Pair for 5 and 9, can remove these as candidates from other cells. | ||
For box 7, candidates for 5 are all in row 9, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
Naked Pair for 5 and 9, can remove these as candidates from other cells. | ||
