4:06, easy for a 'tough' one

Seemed easier than the hard.

I'm trying to follow this *full solution* but I can't. I *think* the rows are 1-9 and the columns are a-g. But this makes no sense. It says that g3=1, when I know that a1=1. Do the solution and the puzzle match? I'm looking at the tough sudoku from 17-12-2005. Thanks.

1. In row-1, 1 must be in d1 or f1, thus eliminating it from g1, h1 & i1; thus g3=1

20.04 not a bad time for me on tough, no guesses

Hi everyone! well managed to get back on here! and finished this puzzle! feel better that I've done it! hate to leave things half done?

21:10 after a Christmas party in Manhattan. Hmm, drugs and sudoku do not mix??

Hi Jayceevee and Mazz:
The rows are numbered (1 to 9) from bottom to top. The columns (a to i) from left to right.

Success and even found the FC without assistance! Still painfully slow but getting better and great fun- I just don't believe these under 10 minute claims!

8.08 fell into placefairly easily
have a great day/night etc wherever you are

19:48 Fairly ordinary time for a relatively easy Tough puzzle. Not much chance of snowmen where I am!

hi TM, here is your proof reader; there is a typo in Step 20: instead of i9=7, h5=1 should read:
i7=9, i5=1. I hope you'll be forgiven and they won't cut off your salary - we need you here :)

solution circa 2010 eureka method:
1.UP=28
2.(8=3)h9 - e9 = e6 - (3=8)f5 => !(8)h5 UP=49
3.AUR(46)bi89 => (2)b9 UP=81.
