    2. In common parlance, it's called the Colouring technique wherein we determine the 'ON & OFF' status of a pair of digits all through the grid and then use that to "explosive effect"

    1. The number which comes in R2C3 has to come in R5C2. Then it has to come in R9C1. After manipulating a bit, u will get 6 in R7C2. That was the breakthrough of this sudoku.
