				| Puzzle for 5/4/06 gets to a point where the following options are possible: Col. 3, Row 4 has pencil marks 5678
 Col. 2, Row 4 has pencil marks 25678
 Col. 2, Row 3 has pencil marks 4567
 Col. 3, Row 8 has pencil marks 5678
 When I requested a hint I was given (5) in Col. 3, Row 4.  What was the logic behind that selection? That 5 could have been selected in any of the other choices.

				| There is a naked triple in column 2.  Once those exclusions are made from the other cells in that column, r4c3 is the only cell in box 4 that can contain a 5. |  |
