Sudoku Solver by Andrew Stuart — Wow!

Andrew Stuart's Sudoku Solver can just about solve any Sudoku puzzle of any complexity. Nice visual results, too. This takes a much larger brain than I hang with!

It's worth pointing out that one of the submissions to our BCB Programming contest was a Soduku creator/player/solver:

Man, I love that. I've never played this stuff. In fact, the only people I've ever seen play it are old folks. I know why old people like ice cream and sweets so much: they can't taste anything anymore. But I'm waiting for someone to explain the fascination with puzzles for them.

As opposed to, say, others' fascination with gigantic, surgically-enhanced body parts?  ;D
