Intersection of row 1 with block 1. The value <5> only appears in one or more of squares R1C1, R1C2 and R1C3 of row 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 1. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 1 cannot contain this value.

R3C1 - removing <5> from <568> leaving <68>

R3C2 - removing <5> from <2589> leaving <289>

R3C3 - removing <5> from <2569> leaving <269>

Intersection of column 2 with block 4. The value <5> only appears in one or more of squares R4C2, R5C2 and R6C2 of column 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 4. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 4 cannot contain this value.

R5C1 - removing <5> from <5678> leaving <678>

R5C3 - removing <5> from <15679> leaving <1679>

R6C3 - removing <5> from <456> leaving <46>

Intersection of column 9 with block 9. The value <4> only appears in one or more of squares R7C9, R8C9 and R9C9 of column 9. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 9. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 9 cannot contain this value.

R7C7 - removing <4> from <1489> leaving <189>

R7C8 - removing <4> from <1478> leaving <178>
