Step by step example of solving a level 5 (very hard) sudoku puzzle

Step 39   This step follows the same logic as the one used in step 38 – a classic sudoku logic. Let’s look again at the top right box of the sudoku game (where ABC cross PQR). We can’t put 2s in columns Q & R, for there are 2s in cells FQ & IR. We can’t put a 2 in cell CP, because there’s a 2 in cell CK. Therefore, the number 2 must be with the only cell that wasn’t eliminated or is already taken – cell AP.
