G3 2 (Phan 2's H5/6, I8)
16
I3 5 (C1,F2)
17
I1 4 (E2)
18
B2 2 (F1,G3) Hard part, Phantom 5,9 in D8,E8 because of 5,9 in row F. Thus, both 5,9 are blocked elsewhere in column 8. The 5 at C1 blocks all of row C, so phantom 5’s must exist at either A7 or A9, blocking row A elsewhere.
19
H6 5 (5's blocked by A?,C1,I3) Where can 5 go in column 6 ?? Only at H6. A? means the phantom 5 in either A7 or A9.
20
G7 5 (H6,I3)
21
A9 5 (A7 blocked by G7) Either A7 or A9 must be a 5, so G7 forces 5 at A9.
22
G4 1 (what's left in row G)
23
A5 1 (B9,C2,G4,E6)
24
H5 2 (I8) 2 in I8 blocks bottom row, forcing 2 at H5.
25
C9 2 (D7,I8)
26
I7 1 (B9,F8)
27
I6 3 (D5) 3 in D5 forces 3 at I6.
28
I5 9 (what's left in box)
29
I2 7 (what's left in row I)
30
H2 9 (what's left in box)
31
E5 5 (phan 5/9 pair in D4,E5) 9 in I5 eliminates the possibility of E5 being a 9, so it must be 5.
32
D4 9 (what's left in box)
33
D8 5 (what's left in row D)
34
E8 9 (what's left in row E)
35
B4 5 (A9,C1,E5,H6)
36
A4 7 (what's left in col 4)
37
B5 4 (what's left in col 5)
38
A6 2 (B2,C9)
39
C6 9 (what's left in box)
40
B3 7 (phan 4/7 pair in B3,C3) 4 in B5 blocks 4 in B3, so B3 must be 7.
41
C3 4 (what's left in col 3)
42
A7 9 (C6,E8,G9)
43
B1 9 (A7)
44
A1 3 (what's left in box)
45
A8 4 (what's left in row A)
46
B8 3 (what's left in row B)
47
C7 7 (what's left in box)
48
F7 3 (phan 3/7 in row F) C7 is 7, so F7 can NOT be 7 of the 3/7 pair. So, F7 must be 3.
49
F9 7 (what's left in box)
50
(row H completed by columns)
A8,D9 give H7=4; C7,F9 give H8=7; B8,F7 give H9=3. Puzzles Solved.
