				| Has anyone got any suggestions as to how to solve this one ? I seem to be having problems again, or does everybody else find it straightforward ? |  |

				| All you need is a triple (or hidden pair). |  |

				| I still havn't gotten this one figured out.  The hint of a "5" in Row 4, Column 3 has me stumped.  I see other possibilities for '5' in Row 4 and Column 3 to be able to make that leap. 
 Back to work.
 
 Followup - Okay.  I'm trying to do all my puzzles now using the Draw/Play feature.  It's not always as obvious to me viewing things on the screen.  I now see the hidden pair consisting of 2 and 8,  in R4C2 and R7C2.

				| Hidden pairs often can be spotted easier without pm's: *----------------*
