Now look at the triplet to the left in row 2. Valid combinations for 8 are
125, 134.
But there is already a 3 in that block so the only valid combination is
125.
So the possible values for the highlighted cell are 1,2 and 5.
Now look at the column triplet containing that cell. Valid combinations for 21 are
489, 579, 678.
But there is already an 8 in that column so the only valid combination is
579.
This means the cell can only be a 5 or 7 or 9, so we can remove the possibles 1 and 2, leaving 5 as the answer.
