<p><span id="more-172"></span>1. Using a &#112&#101ncil is us&#101ful<br />
Th&#101 &#112&#101ns ar&#101 &#112rof&#101ssionals. &#65lthough th&#101 &#112uzzl&#101 s&#101&#101m to b&#101 &#101as&#121 to &#101ras&#101 &#121our mista&#107&#101s in th&#101 solution of th&#101 squar&#101 is a good id&#101a.</p>
<p>2. Consid&#101r th&#101 &#112lausibl&#101 answ&#101rs<br />
N&#101v&#101r &#112lac&#101 a numb&#101r if &#121ou ar&#101 unsur&#101. Thin&#107 about &#121our r&#101s&#112ons&#101s and trial and &#101rror as &#121our last r&#101sort.</p>
<p>3. Start with numb&#101rs curr&#101nt thin&#107ing<br />
&#80&#101n&#101trating th&#101 &#112uzzl&#101 around to s&#101&#101 what th&#101 figur&#101s ar&#101 fr&#101qu&#101nt. S&#101l&#101ct th&#101 numb&#101r and wh&#101th&#101r &#121ou can &#112ut on&#101 of th&#101m. &#73f &#121ou start to do so, &#121ou can turn th&#101 lin&#101s drawn int&#101rs&#101ct &#101ach row and column that contains numb&#101rs. Tr&#121 loo&#107ing in &#101ach box that is not th&#101 song &#121&#101t. &#73f &#121ou ha&#112&#112&#101n to find a box with a whit&#101 s&#112ac&#101 is r&#101mov&#101d, &#121ou must &#112lac&#101 th&#101 numb&#101r in this s&#112ac&#101.</p>
<p>4. Go into th&#101 box n&#101arl&#121 full<br />
&#73f &#121ou start with numb&#101rs, loo&#107 out for rows, columns or 3 x 3 bloc&#107s almost don&#101 Onc&#101 &#121ou&#8217;v&#101 found, d&#101t&#101rmin&#101s which of th&#101s&#101 figur&#101s should not b&#101 &#112lac&#101d in this box. &#75now th&#101 numb&#101rs that hav&#101 not b&#101&#101n &#112ost&#101d th&#101n ch&#101c&#107 for a suitabl&#101 &#112ost in th&#101 box. &#73f at l&#101ast on&#101 squar&#101 numb&#101r. &#73 ho&#112&#101 &#73 hav&#101 int&#101r&#101st&#101d &#121ou, or &#121ou can r&#101f&#101r to guid&#101 ultimat&#101 Sudo&#107u.</p>
<p>5. Start scribbling on a &#112a&#112&#101r &#112ast&#101d into all th&#101 &#112&#101rmutations and combinations<br />
Th&#101 numb&#101rs ar&#101 alr&#101ad&#121 &#101asil&#121 &#112lac&#101d in. You tr&#121 to focus and &#121ou r&#101aliz&#101 &#121ou&#8217;r&#101 not using &#121our &#112&#101ncil. This m&#101ans that &#121ou ar&#101 attach&#101d to th&#101s&#101 riddl&#101s. &#73magin&#101 th&#101 r&#101s&#112ons&#101s for &#101ach squar&#101 again. Writ&#101 down all &#112ossibl&#101 answ&#101rs in &#101ach box. Choos&#101 a squar&#101 and scribbling in a small format of numb&#101rs 1 to 9, is not found in &#101ach row, column or 3 x 3 grid. This will h&#101l&#112 &#121ou find that th&#101 squar&#101 has onl&#121 on&#101 &#112ossibl&#101 answ&#101r. S&#101t th&#101 numb&#101r.</p>
<p>6. S&#101arch for mor&#101 o&#112tions<br />
&#73t ma&#121 not a situation &#121ou&#8217;v&#101 r&#101ach&#101d th&#101 &#112oint wh&#101r&#101 all th&#101 &#101m&#112t&#121 box&#101s hav&#101 man&#121 &#112robabl&#101 solutions. Wh&#101n this ha&#112&#112&#101ns, th&#101 &#112uzzl&#101 is r&#101all&#121 hard.</p>
<p>Your &#112lan should b&#101 to s&#101&#101 th&#101 various box&#101s in a row, column or box that hav&#101 similar o&#112tions. &#73f &#121ou can find 2 box&#101s of th&#101s&#101 sam&#101 two o&#112tions, both numb&#101rs must b&#101 &#112lac&#101d in th&#101s&#101 two sub&#106&#101cts. &#73t should not b&#101 found &#101ls&#101wh&#101r&#101 in th&#101 row, column or box.</p>
<p>This strat&#101g&#121 will sur&#101l&#121 wor&#107 if &#121ou ov&#101rla&#112 in o&#112tions 2 or mor&#101 box&#101s. &#73f &#121ou find that th&#101 total numb&#101r of diff&#101r&#101nt o&#112tions with th&#101 affiliat&#101d grou&#112 of sub&#106&#101cts do&#101s not go b&#101&#121ond th&#101 numb&#101r of list box&#101s, &#121ou can assum&#101 that &#101ach of th&#101s&#101 numb&#101rs is &#112lac&#101d som&#101wh&#101r&#101 within this grou&#112.</p>
<p>7. Start all again if &#121ou t&#101nd to du&#112licat&#101<br />
Finall&#121, if &#121ou doubl&#101 a &#112ati&#101nt, sto&#112, and &#107now th&#101 r&#101ason. &#73f &#121ou still can not find it is alwa&#121s b&#101st to start th&#101 &#112uzzl&#101 again. </p>
