				It is long and hairy but it is one step:    	  | Code: | 	 		   *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------*
 
 | 2       157     17      | 457     3       8       | 6       149     149     |
 
 | 359     8       69      | 456     46      1       | 234     234     7       |
 
 | 37      167     4       | 67      9       2       | 13      8       5       |
 
 |-------------------------+-------------------------+-------------------------|
 
 | 4       17      17      | 3       25      6       | 8       259     29      |
 
 | 6       3       5       | 249     8       49      | 124     7       124     |
 
 | 8       9       2       | 1       45      7       | 345     3456    346     |
 
 |-------------------------+-------------------------+-------------------------|
 
 | 1       256     69      | 8       246     3459    | 7       23456   2346    |
 
 | 579     2567    8       | 2469    17      3459    | 123459  123456  12346   |
 
 | 579     4       3       | 269     17      59      | 1259    1256    8       |
 
 *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------*
 
(2)r4c5 = (2-6)r7c5 = r2c5 - (6-9)r2c3 - r7c3 = r7c6 - r5c6 = (9-2)r5c4 = (2)r4c5;
 
r4c5=2
