Contest 6 - Sudoku solver - Discussion

[Merri]

As ridiculous reply an additional half a year later!

1. I also remember this contest every now and then. A shame there wasn't other as successful ones.
2. I still don't code for a living.
3. But I'm well, I've found my way to worklife after having huge difficulties most of the 00's.
4. In programming I've switched to PHP/JavaScript, maybe finally C++ soon enough.
5. I no longer do VB6 at all - a hard language to drop as it does have a lot of fun parts despite many huge limitations.

I understand the concept but can't for the life of me solve one by hand.

To this day I haven't solved a single sudoku by hand. I can write a program that does it, but doing it by hand just isn't something I'd be interested of.
