I'm a sudoku enemy: where is the interrest? A computer can easily beat every human at this game. The only interrest is to write the software.

Ah, to be a young programmer again...

No computer program can beat the game using intelligence, any program will just read a two dimentional array and loop the grid adding numbers progressively towards a result, that is a brute force approach done incredibly fast, the fact that they can do it fast doesn't mean is beating a human at it, on similar clock speeds the human will always come up with the result in a lot less clock cycles.

Anyway, the point is that is a past time some of us enjoy on a subjective level
