I love a good sudoku, and have come across more than one that was unfinishable.
According to my cheater program it is finishable, but it still may require a guess which I don't like. As I'm sure you are aware, thats not supposed to happen. post the original and I'll see what I can do.

Original should be the bold numbers.

that's an awful lot but maybe I'm not reading it right -the nold and not bold are not terribly distinct to me.
no matter. I really want to play Pirates (just watched Pirates of the carribean 3), so may pack it in in a minute

third row eighth column is 7
...because it can either be 6 or 7, if it's 6 then r3c3 is 5, r3c6 is 8, r3c4 is 1, r1c4 is 4, r1 c8 is 9 which leaves no possibility for r7c8 (6 or 9)

SPOILER rest of solution follows, I think
that means r7c8 is 6 r7c6 is 5, r7c4 is 9 r8c4 is 7, r6c4 is 4 r1c4 is 1, r1c7 is 9, r1c8 is 4, r9c8 is 9, r9c7 is 7, r9c3 is 4, r8c3 is 9, oh hell, i think it's done, wait a mo and I'll post the lot or at least what i got in grid form

I thought you did, but closed the window I was working in and punted - sorry.
You're solution seems valid to me. Ran it through again - You're a winner!!!!

The original numbers are supposed to be bold. The difference doesn't show much though. Here is the original: Code:
_ _ _ _ _ 2 _ _ 5 _ 1 _ _ 7 _ _ 8 _ 4 _ _ _ 9 _ _ _ 3 5 _ _ _ _ _ 4 _ _ 2 _ _ 6 _ _ _ _ 7 _ _ 8 _ 1 _ _ _ 9 7 _ _ _ 4 _ _ _ 1 _ 3 _ _ 8 _ _ 5 _ 6 _ _ 2 _ _ _ _ _ |
