The end of its reply

I solved it by logical deduction. After finding the forced cells in the middle band, I assumed r6c7 = 7, which led to a complete valid grid. I did not separately prove the other case (r6c7 = 5) impossible. I checked the finished grid against every row, column and box, and it matches all the givens, and the puzzle is stated to have a unique solution.
