Sudoku Solver

This Java applet solves most Sudoku problems. While most problems are solved using the brute power of a computer to chunk through available options, this one uses rules of logic or "heuristics" to deduce the answers as much as possible. The only difference between how we solve these puzzles and this applet is that the applet can see many more options more quickly than can people.

This is still a work in progress. If you find a problem that the solver cannot resolve, please e-mail me with the grid pattern.

I'm also hoping to show a graph of how quickly the program can zero in on a solution and a bit of a help file explaining the algorithms used.
