>Thanks for trying - but - like Mark said, each 3x3 grid has to have the numbers 1-9 as well. Also, it needs to be in some random order - making it more difficult to solve.
I just started solving Sudoku puzzles recently.
The real difficulty for programming, it seems to me, is not so much how to put the digits in some random order and still make them fit - although I have not the slightest idea to solve it that part. The real difficulty might be to decide which digits to leave blank, so that a human can then solve the puzzle.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
