Many readers would be aware that Sudoku is a puzzle (craze) that has recently appeared in many major newspapers around the world as a regular puzzle. (See http://www.sudoku.com and http://www.sudokufun.com/ An open source sudoku project exists with a Java applet available at sourceforge: http://sudoku.sourceforge.net/) Mathematica in Education and Research would like to issue a challenge to the Mathematica community to create a Mathematica version of Sudoku: a package that both creates Sudoku puzzles and solves them (either totally within a notebook or via the GUI interface). Please submit your Sudoku version as an article for Mathematica in Education and Research describing the code and the (presumed?) challenges faced and overcome in writing the code.
