haha all you cheaters are ridiculous......

and those that say you have to work backwards....Im well aware of that fact, Im just asking that you explain how you came to the conclusion of the first number you found...thats all I need (Ive scanned this thing up and down 100 times easily, and im pretty sure ive thought of everything!!) :(

The only ones you can enter, the 3 in the bottom row. Look at how the emty spaces are allocated between the 3 bottom master boxes or whatever they are called. You can't specify which box has a 4, but you can specify which ones cant. there are 7 boxes that can be a 4. BAsed on the way they are layed out, you can not figure which of the farthest left are a 4, but you do know the other middle 3x3 box and the right 3x3 box.
