Each puzzle is divided into nine sections, and each section
has nine blank squares. Fill in all 81 squares on the puzzle
with numbers 1 to 9. You may not repeat any numbers in any
one of the nine sections that you've already used elsewhere
in that section. Also, you can use each number 1-9 only once
in each horizontal line of nine squares, and in each vertical
column of nine squares. The puzzle is completed when you
correctly fill every square. Answer to this week's Sudoku
