	I am lost with the XYZ pattern you are describing. Since I am totally lost with this "new" skill, can someone very painstakingly explain it to me step by step?

	Just when we think we're getting it.... Anyway, the next hint is a 7 in r1c6. We can't find the logic...Which doesn't mean much!

	The next hint is a 1 in column 7 and row 8. This is where I am stuck. I don't know the logic in eliminating the 9. I neatened up the rows does that help? Or did I screw it up more?

	| I am stuck.  The hint took me to bottom right square putting a 1 in first column, middle row.  Why?  I can't figure out the logic. |
