To solve hard Sudoku puzzles, start by scanning the grid for any obvious placements, focusing on rows, columns, and boxes to identify missing numbers. Use techniques like the naked single (where only one number can fit in a cell), hidden singles (where a number can only fit in one cell of a row, column, or box), and pencil marks to note potential candidates. As you progress, apply more advanced strategies such as naked pairs, pointing pairs, or X-Wing to eliminate possibilities. Continue iterating through these methods, updating the grid until the puzzle is complete.

Can the Chinese theorem solve a sudoku puzzle?
The Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) is not directly applicable for solving Sudoku puzzles. Sudoku relies on a grid-based logic system where numbers must be placed according to specific rules rather than modular arithmetic. However, some concepts from the CRT, like working with congruences, can theoretically inspire techniques for Sudoku solving, but they do not provide a direct solution method. Sudoku is typically solved using backtracking, constraint propagation, or other algorithmic approaches.
What you do online?
I play puzzles online. My favorite is to solve crosswords because it challenges my mental skills. I play online at freedailycrosswords.com . Puzzles are free and can be easily printed out. There are also other games available such as Cryptogram and Sudoku.
What is a person who loves to solve logic puzzles called?
A person who loves to solve logic puzzles is often referred to as a "puzzle enthusiast" or "logic puzzle aficionado." They enjoy engaging in activities that challenge their reasoning and critical thinking skills, often seeking out complex problems to solve. This passion can also extend to various types of puzzles, including crosswords, Sudoku, and riddles.
Are there two possible solutions to one sudoku puzzle?
If you are referring to published Sudoku puzzles, the answer is No. These are generally designed to have exactly 1 solution. That fact can sometimes help solve a Sudoku by eliminating choices that create non-unique configurations. If you are asking about possible Sudoku boards, the answer is yes - there are many more possible sudoku puzzles with multiple solutions than with unique ones. Details and examples can be found at the related link.

Can all sudoku be solved without guessing?
No. The most difficult levels require you to assume that a box is filled with one number or another. You pick one of the numbers, and then, you must follow the puzzle until you either solve it, or come to a impossible situation. Using the logical reasoning of "reductio ad absurdum", you then conclude that the number you picked WASN'T the correct number and start over from that junction point. It is VERY discouraging to have to resort to that technique, so I always play the ones that you can logically solve all the way whenever possible. If there was an easy way to mark a board and erase the wrong entries, then it wouldn't be so bad. Perhaps I could use a dry erase board with a different color when I got to a junction. That way, all I'd have to do is erase all the guesses in that color. There is another situation where you are forced to resort to guessing. Not all of the people who make Sudoku puzzles are aware that you must check your new puzzle for conformity to rules of what exactly makes a Sudoku puzzle. As a result, there are an amazing number of producers of puzzles that simply have no clue that what they are producing are not at all Sudoku puzzles, but something that only looks EXACTLY LIKE a Sudoku puzzle. These supposed "Sudoku puzzles" have not one, but anywhere from 2 to hundreds of solutions. Naturally, it is not possible to solve such a "puzzle" with only logic, as logic will fail to reduce the number of choices down to only 1 solution, a necessary component of actual Sudoku puzzles. You can check online at many websites to determine whether or not the puzzle you are working on is an actual Sudoku puzzle or not. It might just save your sanity! The number of erroneous Sudoku puzzles being published out there is legion! I have a hand held game device made in China that produces almost NO useful Sudoku puzzles. My mother got it for me. Thanks, Mom! Great present! *Note to readers: Beware bargain basement clearance bins. The merchandise is in there for a reason, and sometimes, that reason is because the product in the bin doesn't do anything useful, besides take your money. There is a famous hedge in Japan, where the vegetation was planted to produce a Sudoku puzzle. You would think that people that go to that much trouble (manufacturing and planting) would also check to make sure that they produced a useful puzzle so that their efforts would not turn out to be totally wasted, but you would be mistaken. So, don't assume that just because you are looking at a grid of what appears to be a Sudoku puzzle, that it really is one. I only get my puzzles from trusted authors now, and I haven't run in to a non-working Sudoku puzzle for months... I suggest that you start keeping track of who does a good job for you, and then only go to those places for your puzzles.

How do you solve sudoku quickly?
It will take you 6 months and 8 minutes to solve a Sudoku puzzle "quickly". The first six months is how long it will take you, (at a minimum, assuming you play 2 or 3 puzzles per day, and complete them), to develop the strategies that will enable you to recognize simple, easily provable patterns that result in a "forced" outcome. Once you have sufficient numbers of these patterns learned and memorized, you will rapidly increase your speed in solving any particular Sudoku puzzle. You will be amazed! My wife went from not being able to understand WHAT a Sudoku puzzle was all about, to solving a 4 star puzzle on her own in less than an hour. She is also MUCH better at reaching logical conclusions about things totally unrelated to Sudoku. I recommend the practice to everybody. Even parents!
