Terry,

I'm not sure what you mean here. There is no zero in sudoku, at least as I know it.

The number at the bottom is the number of the puzzle on the websudoku site. You need a number in case you have to look it up!

HTH,

Rachael

Rachael;
Thanks. What is the meaning of the number at the bottom and how
did you get it?
If there is a nine in a group of three, does that mean the other
2 numbers are 0?
Time to go.  Sure I will have more when I try to do it.
thanks.
Terry Powers

Hi List,

I've been having more email sending issues today, which have
caused me to lose two messages I wrote about this subject, so I'm
going to try again! I'm stealing what I wrote to Desiree, which
is a sort of not very clear explanation, and an easy puzzle. It
came from

www.websudoku.com

which has a seemingly endless supply of puzzles, at all
difficulty levels.  If you have further questions, please write
me off list at

Basically, you have a grid of nine by nine squares. The goal is
to fill in the numbers, so that each number, (1-9), is
represented in each row and column. Also, if you think of the
grid as a chocolate bar, you can divide it up into nine squares,
three by three. In other words, the first three rows contain
squares 1, on the left, 2, in the middle, and 3, on the right.
Each of these smaller squares must also contain all nine numbers.
The rows, columns and squares, then, are your clues about how to
fill it in.

A little example. Say you have a row, and there are only two
blank squares. The only two missing numbers are 4 and 7. You
might look at the column of one of the blank squares, and see
there's a four, a couple of rows down. You then know that that
blank has to be the 7, since the column can't contain two fours.

Clear as mud? <smile

Feel free to write if you have questions. Also, think about
joining Sarah's list. It's a really good one, pretty low traffic,
and there are some very helpful people on there. I'm sending you
a puzzle that Sarah first sent me, when she told me about it. At
the time, it was overwhelming. Having become thoroughly addicted,
I've gotten used to them, and this one took about 20 minutes,
done on the BN. When you go to put in a number, don't forget to
delete the dash!

Here is the puzzle. Good luck!

Rachael
