Where did you get this puzzle? Are you sure it's not a fake one or something? I'm just asking to be sure before I start it.

I got it from a "Black Belt Sudoku Book"...it has a solution in the back that I dont want to look at. I also inputted the numbers into my sudoku program and it said it was a valid puzzle.

That's not a real answer. The bottom left section has two 1s and the bottom right has none.Originally posted by: Juice Box

i need you to tell me which # you got first from the original puzzle, and explain your reasoning for putting it there (guessing is not an option)

You have to work it by saying what can't go in the boxes, not by what can. Kinda backwards. Sorry if my handwriting is bad.
BTW: don't click on that link unless you want the answer.

Ok, thats confusing. I don't see a problem with either, and they have different answers. this is not a valid puzzle.
Did you start with 4's too? Because that is the only number that matches between ours.

Assuming that the solutions are both valid (i didn't see anything on yours or mine when I looked them over again) then the puzzle is not valid. Sudoku is based on the fact there is only 1 solution.
You have 2 5s in the 3rd column from the right.Originally posted by: PurdueRy
