sudoku (060216)

sudoku (060216)

Welcome to Thursday. Thursdays are usually the day when I post a medium-hard sudoku on my blog. This will probably be the last 9x9 sudoku I publish on this blog, though. At the suggestion of Vulkanino, I will likely be changing my blog template so that sudokus are automatically generated; not only that, but readers will be able to play sudoku right here on my blog, without ever having to leave the page. This will be part of a major revamp of the blog, so sometime over the next few days (hopefully) my blog will look very different. I will probably still publish the monster 16x16 sudokus every Saturday.

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 36 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 want to play more sudokus, you can find them here.
