| 1341996 | 2013-05-19 23:31:00 | Where does the 5 go and why? (A free modem to the first person with the correct answer ;) ) |

| 1341997 | 2013-05-19 23:44:00 | Based on what's immediately visible, it could be either the top left or top right empty squares in the left large square, or one of the squares with 5 already in them. :p | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1341998 | 2013-05-19 23:45:00 | Hmmm, it's bugging me now, specially trying to figure out the "trick". Logically it's on the top line in the left square but that leaves 2 options, assuming of course the written numbers are all correct. |

| 1341999 | 2013-05-19 23:46:00 | yeah and wont it depend on which one so you need to see the left squares below? | Gobe1 (6290) | ||
| 1342000 | 2013-05-19 23:49:00 | No it's not an existing cell with a 5! (but marks for trying PCuser42) It does have a definite answer on the information presented (and on the rules of Sudoku) |

| 1342001 | 2013-05-19 23:53:00 | Ok bottom left coz the 5 is in the wrong place on the right... hahaa | Gobe1 (6290) | ||
| 1342002 | 2013-05-19 23:58:00 | Ok bottom left coz the 5 is in the wrong place on the right... hahaa No, everything is correct so far. It's not that tricky |

| 1342003 | 2013-05-20 00:04:00 | top left of left box. | Iantech (16386) | ||
| 1342004 | 2013-05-20 00:09:00 | top left of left box. I thought so too, but there's nothing stopping you swapping the 5 & 6 or the 6 & 9 in both boxes. the 3 & 8 make no difference either way they could go. |

| 1342005 | 2013-05-20 00:16:00 | No, but Dugimodo inching towards the answer (The answer has similar level of quirkiness to the old kid's puzzle Make a square by moving just one match: ) |
