I would help you through the entire thing Vuk, but I am experiencing intense sadness and loneliness right now. If I remember correctly, the key to the 4 was that the top row has two cells one which has 2,5,7,9 and the other 2,4,5,7,9. Takes a bit of intuition but you know that since the numbers 4,5,7 appears among the other empty cells in the row, you can figure out that those cells are actually a pointing pair of 2,9. Since you have eliminated that top right cell to be 2,9 there is only one cell left in that 3x3 block for the 4 to be in.

Sorry to hear about the loneliness ACIN. I am going through the same thing right now. Staying up late, writing poetry, and fighting the urge to call someone I have not talked to in years. Some times life can suck. This young lady always comes to my aid and some how makes me feel less depressed.

Her and Patsy Cline and Nastya Prikhodko really have a way of connecting with me when I am feeling lonely and depressed.
Thank you for the solution, I figured it would be something obvious that I was just overlooking. You will have to forgive my stupidity; I am new to Sudoku.

For ACIN and Vukkie, with love Peggie

Definition of creepy:
I just moved into a really bad part of town, and in the month I have been here there have been a string of crimes (half of them violent) within five blocks of where I live. My landlord actually asked me if I had a gun, and told me that if I didn't he would 'give' me one. Is it just me, or is that a really random, creepy thing for someone to just bring up out of the blue. Guns cost a lot of money, and there are liability issues at stake. Who just gives away a gun to a random person lodging in their building? I turned him down, but am amply creeped out. (I wouldn't need his gun anyway, as I could wallpaper my apartment with the guns I left behind at my parent's farm. :P

Just booked another trip to Norway! In the winter this time, so this should be fun.

Cant wait!

I've always wanted to see Norway. You have a great time.

If I look back one year ago, I could honestly describe myself as hating public events and hermit like. I was happy being in my room and staying my room, either working or playing video games. Now I feel like if I haven't done something or gone somewhere at least once a week I get bored and anxious. Very odd how these changes occur.

We routinely get police in my neighborhood, just had the SWAT teams down the street not too long ago. Police at the security door of our apartment building are nothing novel, either, and they always go to the same apartment, one of the ones below us. No matter who lives in that one, over the past ten years it is always that one they go to. We also live in one of the worser parts of the city, so that explains that. As my mom says, we don't need to watch cop shows on TV, we just look out our window.
