				| Here is where I'm stuck: 
 036 802 407
 070 400 300
 400 731 068
 
 317 684 000
 600 000 784
 000 275 136
 
 283 547 691
 000 020 875
 700 908 243
 
 The clue is a 9 at Row 3, Column 7.
 
 How did they get this ?

				| They have gone barking mad. 
 The clue should be 5 in r3c7.

				| The previous reply is correct, although perhaps not very helpful. There is a 5 in r8c9 and a 5 in r6c6. This means that the only possible places for a 5 in col 1 are in r1 or r2. Therefore, there cannot be a 5 in either of r3c2 and r3c3 leaving r3c7 as the only remaining candidate for 5 in row 3.

				| As always, I am always amazed that after looking at something for a great deal of time how I could possibly overlook something rather simple. 
 Thanks again.
