just in case you are bored or have any spare time... I am stuck at this, "s" is the missing pieces. Code: a b c d e f g h i ================== 1| 6 9 3 8 4 1 s s 5 2| s s 1 s s 6 s s 3 3| 7 s s 5 3 2 1 9 6 4| 1 3 s s 5 s s s 8 5| s s 9 s 1 3 s s s 6| 4 s 7 6 s s s s 1 7| 9 s s s s 4 s 5 s 8| s s s s s 5 6 s 9 9| 3 s 5 s s s s 1 4 [edit] Shot at 2009-12-07 [edit#2] I added index into the matrix so that you can easily tell me which is the next move, e.g. (a,1) is 6 and (d,3) is 5, etc.
Would you post the original puzzle? Sometimes you might have taken the wrong path that lead to dead end.
This is the first sudoku I failed to complete. Personally I do not like to use the "brute-force" trial-and-error method hence I am seeking for some intelligent mind here. If one could solve the puzzle, I would like to know the process. I would like to know which is the next bracket filled and what will be the digit. I am less interested to know the final results without the "steps".
lol. i'm stuck on one too, was playing it on my phone and got to the last box or 2, and just can't make it work. There aren't any errors either, but obviously some need to be swapped or something.
Sorry I couldn't post the original puzzle but I am very sure I got all the correct moves so far. As FFZ pointed out that it was a game in Google Wave. The apps will tell if you have a wrong move. To bad I invited my other friends to join the game and one of them screwed the puzzle by playing brute-force. Luckily I 'copied' the last image 'coz I was stuck at what it was for hours already. [Edit] By playing brute-force I mean that guy just wild-guessed the moves and eventually he filled in all the brackets. Since the Google Wave app will tell if you have entered a wrong digit. So there is an answer for this puzzle. Like I said earlier, I am not that interested to know the final results, I am more eager to learn the steps. Apparently my IQ is not high enough to untie the knot here. I believe someone in the community can.
Here goes 6 9 3 8 4 1 2 7 5 5 2 1 7 9 6 8 4 3 7 4 8 5 3 2 1 9 6 1 3 2 9 5 7 4 6 8 8 6 9 4 1 3 5 2 7 4 5 7 6 2 8 9 3 1 9 7 6 1 8 4 3 5 2 2 1 4 3 7 5 6 8 9 3 8 5 2 6 9 7 1 4
