Intersection of row 4 with block 6. The value <3> only appears in one or more of squares R4C7, R4C8 and R4C9 of row 4. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 6. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 6 cannot contain this value.

R6C8 - removing <3> from <359> leaving <59>

Intersection of column 4 with block 2. The value <9> only appears in one or more of squares R1C4, R2C4 and R3C4 of column 4. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 2 cannot contain this value.

R3C5 - removing <9> from <2369> leaving <236>
