Notice that the 3 can not appear in any of the other small boxes across the row on the 1st line. Also notice the second line where the 3 can not go. Now, look at the 3 that can not be placed in the column. There is only ONE place the 3 can go and you have just solved your first number!! That was easy wasn't it? The red indicates where the 3 can't go and the green indicates where it can. Obviously your puzzle will not solve itself. This is just a tutor.
