Sudoku Craze... Be The First To Solve It

JOH · May 9, 2008

Who's the sudoku guru?

I will post it at 1:00 PM sharp eastern time...

JOH · May 9, 2008

Points awarded: 250 - (# minutes it takes to solve). If it takes an hour, 250 - 60 = 190. Maybe we can go tourney style with this. There aught to be some kind of a prize.. hint hint lol.

Do what you got to do.................... cheater. :Carcajada:

JOH · May 9, 2008

Tell you what... this is what I was going to post as a partial solution. To be truthful, I was stumped at this point. Anyone care to give some tips on how to go from here...?

Cusipz · May 9, 2008

I don't use the numbers in the corner, too confusing. Just copied it all down. The 5/8 in the bottom right has to be that way .If you go 8/5 there will be a conflict in the middle horizontal sections.

goodcall · May 9, 2008

d2 cant be 4...makes that 7 and you should be able to go from there

tatehill2000 · May 9, 2008

The objective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game:

Every row of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order
Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order
Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9

Well I can't even read my own writing... that was (7,9) I had in D2. Now I'm stuck again. Cusipz, I'm not sure what you mean by a conflict in the middle horizontal sections. Help...
