Have a look at where 7 could go in the sixth row down (not the fifth as I originally typed). This should help to eliminate 7s elsewhere.

7 is going to R5C2 and R5C9, but in C2 and C9 it is also going to many elsewhere so I can't pair anything to remove possibility in other locations.

Yes, seems there is a pair of three, I will try it out and report. Thanks.

so cryptic. Even after your hint, it took me another hour to totally crack it. Good one.

The number 7 of the sixth row is only in the blue boxes.Therefore the number 7 cannot be in the blue box of the fifth row. Only remains the number 1.
Sorry, my hint was wrong! I meant the sixth row down, not the fifth. I've edited my original comment.

@carlotes, yes, that is it. I had missed this logic that is much simpler. Thanks. Then, the pair of 3 of 7 that I seemed to have identified was also wrong, but it somehow led to correct filling of entire board.

Key
A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
