Dear mX Readers (& other visitors to this page),
There is no provision for you to solve this puzzle online. The page is printer-friendly, so just print it out (with Landscape orientation for best results), grab yourself a pen and solve it the way Sudoku was meant to be solved. To display/print a bigger grid append ~gsize=n (with n > 34) to the URL. These puzzles can be Pasted directly into Sudoku-Help-Plus to help you learn how to apply the Solving Rules.
It has been suggested that some of my Sudoku puzzles have more than one solution. Whilst technically, the occasional Cluedoku puzzles deliberately have more than one solution, the (standard numeric) Sudoku puzzles don't. The solution to each such puzzle published here is the only solution and I defy anyone to find another. I will send a free copy of Sudoku-Help-Plus to the first person to send me a second different (and of course valid) solution to one of the Sudoku puzzles on this Website, which has the full history of every Sudoku puzzle that has ever appeared in mX. Furthermore I will publish an apology on this very page should I be proven wrong, but don't waste too much time trying - you are doomed to failure!
