sudoku (060119)

sudoku (060119)

Well, it's Thursday once again, so it's time for a medium-difficulty sudoku.

The rules of sudoku: The puzzle board consists of a 9 by 9 grid, which is further divided up into nine 3 by 3 blocks. In each row, column, and 3x3 block, the numbers 1 through 9 each get written exactly once. The puzzle board generally starts with 18 to 30 of the cells in the grid already filled in. For those who need help, a short tutorial on how to solve sudoku puzzles can be found here.

You can either solve this on paper (by printing out the GIF or copying it by hand) or solve it on your computer. If you solve this puzzle, post your solution in the comments. I will be posting the solution in a few days.

If you are yearning for more sudoku-y puzzlification, you can find it here.

Update: Eddie's girl has the correct solution, here.

Sorry Bonfire, that result is incorrect. You have two 3's in the second column, two 2's in the third column, two 8's in the fourth column, and two 9's in the sixth column.
