I've been addicted to Sudoku for a long time. There are several sites that let you play for free using a Javascript solution. I can't solve the online ones if they are too complicated because you don't have a place to write down temporary placement to try certain strategies, which is why I like to work with book versions of sudoku.

I printed the puzzle you have and look forward to trying it out without using s Sudoku solver.

Using brute-force with backtracking (implemented with recursion), a solution was found in 30ms on an Intel dual-core 2.2GHz (E4500) computer.
