Default Re: The World's Hardest Sudoku (June 2012)

I don't consider myself an expert in sudoku but all of what Rubix said is correct with regards to this puzzle. Most 'difficult' puzzles will at least have 4 or 5 initial numbers you can place, in addition to having more starting numbers already placed, making the number of guess-and-checks (or forks in the road if you look at it that way) a lot less than this nasty pos. I don't find these type of puzzles enjoyable since it becomes a guessing game (albeit an educated one but still).
