Jakub Ondroušek has beaten the world recordWed, 06/16/2010 - 11:41 - Admin

Fast Sudoku solving world record fulfilling given conditions was held so far by Belgian Vincent Bertrand. His time was 3 minutes 6 seconds. This achievement was reached at the World Sudoku Championship 2009 in Žilina, Slovakia and is written in the Guinness World Records.

On Saturday June 12, 2010 there was a traditional the 'Dobrý den' Agency's International Festival of Records and Curiosities in Pelhřimov. Three worlds Sudoku champions Jana Tylová, from Most, and Honza Krtek Novotný and Jakub Ondroušek, members of the Sudoku club Kabrňáci from Brno, pitted their strength there. It was mainly about setting the Czech national fast Sudoku solving record and then about its improving. At first there was warming up at 'easy newspaper Sudoku puzzle' and after that our world champions had two attempts with two Sudoku puzzles created by fivefold world puzzle champion Robert Babilon.

Jakub Ondroušek settled the Czech record of 2.53 minutesin the he first attempt started by the legendary runner and world record holder Jarmila Kratochvílová and under 'Dobrý den' Agency's scrutiny.

The patron of the second attempt was sevenfold Olympic Games winner - a gymnast Věra Čáslavská. In this attempt Jakub Ondroušek beat his previous performance and improved the Czech record: Babilon's master Sudoku was solved in unbelievable short time of 1 minute 25 seconds. So, Bertrand's world record was beaten and markedly improved. And because Krtek's time in the second attempt was 2:16 min, this means that the world record was beaten three times in Pelhřimov.

The fight was really exciting because Krtek always had the great start, whereas Kuba was excellent in the end. And the end was the crucial moment. Jana Tylová chimed in well, but smashing hot weather did its 'fair whack'.

Great thanks to all people involved for their participation in the festival, for their good representation of SČHAK, and for the fact they were able to hold the audience and to give outstanding performances.

SUDOKU or Single Number, is a Japanese number puzzle that has swept through the world with the same gusto as the Rubiks Cube. Newspapers carry it, software houses, toyshops and bookshops sell a great deal of it. There is even a world championships. In the basic form it is a nine-by-nine grid divided into nine (sub-set) squares of nine squares. Numbers between one and nine are strategically placed by the compiler and the player is invited to fill in the rest. The rules are very simple, the game is incredibly addictive. Fill in all the squares with one number each of one to nine. There are to be no repeated numbers in any vertical or horizontal line nor a repeated number in any sub set (square) of nine squares. How hard can it be? Common variations of Sudoku are 8x8, 12x12 and 16x16 squares. Letters or shapes can be substituted for numbers. Other Japanese number puzzles include Kakuro, Kokonotsu, Kikagaku, Samu.

Sudoku does not have any addition. You just have to make sure that each row, column and 'sub square' has each of the nine digits (1-9) only once.

The numbers 1-9 have to be in each bix, row and column. So if you have one with 8 numbers, you can work out the last one. And you can see where a number goes in a box if it's in that row or column, you can't put it in that row or column in the box.

The puzzle known as "Al Escargot" (the snail) is currently considered the hardest Sudoku puzzle. It was created by a Finnish mathematician called Arto Inkala.

One of the hardest Sudoku books available is "Extreme Sudoku" by Antoine Alary, not to be confused with "X-TREME Sudoku" by Nikoli & Co. or "Sudoku Xtreme" by Christopher Monckton, which are both an order of magnitude easier.

How many squares are in a sudoku puzzle?

Any given Sudoku puzzle has just one solution. This is so long as the puzzle already comes with at least 17 digits already placed on the grid. If there are any less than 17 digits, then the puzzle has more than one possible solution, and therefore cannot be solved properly. The total number of possible combinations of digits on a standard sudoku grid is 6,670,903,752,021,072,936,960. However it can be argued that many of these combinations could be the same as another, only backwards or rotated. Factoring out all logical duplicates, the number of possible combinations drops to 3,359,232. This is essentially the total number of possible sudoku puzzles. * My Friend Dev Oneal has completed an 'Impossible Level' Sudoku puzzle, as I checked the answer given by the "Auto-Solve" feature and compare with his solution and have found both was correct but with different pattern. Hence, it could have more than 1 correct answer.
