R5C5 - removing <89> from <2389> leaving <23>

Squares R5C3 and R7C3 in column 3 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <89>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R9C3 - removing <89> from <2789> leaving <27>

Squares R5C4 and R5C5 in block 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <23>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R6C5 - removing <3> from <389> leaving <89>

Intersection of column 5 with block 2. The value <7> only appears in one or more of squares R1C5, R2C5 and R3C5 of column 5. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 2 cannot contain this value.

R1C4 - removing <7> from <279> leaving <29>
