3 Steps to Become a Suduko Champ
Author: Richard Runion  | Posted: 15-12-2007 | Comments: 0 | Views: 1,408 | Rating: (610)  (?) 
There are exactly 3 steps to become a Suduko Champ. If you go through these steps systematically, you can become a Suduko Champ. I really mean it. You could learn to solve every Suduko puzzle in less than 5 minutes. Even the evil ones.
I presume you already know the basics of Suduko and the rules, and you only want to learn how to solve Suduko puzzles. If you don’t know the rules of Suduko, I’d suggest you subscribe to the free newsletter at:
www.HowToSolveAllSudokuPuzzles.com
This newsletter not only teaches you the rules, but also teaches you how to solve these puzzles, over time.
Let’s now see the 3 steps.
Step #1: If you’re very old, or very young, or find it difficult to learn to solve Suduko, for some reason, then, first learn to solve a 2 X 2 X 2 Suduko SAP (Simple As Possible) puzzle.
Suduko has 3*3 (=9) major squares, each consisting of 3*3 (=9) minor squares, multiplying to a total of 81 squares, right? We call this Suduko of Order 3 (viz., 3 rows, 3 columns, and 3 major squares of 3X3 cell groups), for simplicity of our understanding.
Suduko SAP is about creating a much simpler, yet practical Suduko of Order 2 (2 rows, 2 columns, and 2*2 major squares). This has only 16 squares, with numbers from 1 to 4 to be filled in. Much simpler than having to fill 81 squares, isn’t it? You’ll realize that it’s very easy even for very young kids to learn to solve these, and this learning forms the basis for solving Suduko of level 3.
Bad News: There are very few websites that take this Suduko SAP route.
Good News: If you subscribe to the above newsletter, you’ll learn Suduko SAP, from the start.
Step #2: There are 2 broad methods to solve Suduko:
(i) The Conventional Method, and
(ii) The Possibility Matrix Method.
The Conventional Method involves use of techniques such as Naked Singles, Hidden Singles, Direct Interaction, Indirect Interaction, Naked Groups, Hidden Groups, Reduction, X-Wing, Sword Fish, XY-Wing, Coloring, Forcing Chains and Trial & Error.
The Possibility Matrix Method consists of techniques such as Construction of the Possibility Matrix, and rules such as Reduction Rule, Group Reduction Rule, and Tie Breaker Rule.
While these are the basic techniques, more sophisticated techniques, which are essentially extensions of the above techniques, keep evolving all the time.
You can solve any given Suduko by any method of your choice. If you’re quick on the uptake, learn in the above order. If not, learn the Possibility Matrix Method first.
Again, subscription to the above newsletter should help.
Step #3: Solving Suduko faster is a different ball game altogether. More advanced techniques or more practice won’t help much. But with specific strategies and workouts, it is possible for most of the average Suduko players to double (or even triple or multiple) their Suduko solving speed, or even solve most Suduko in 5 minutes!
We’ll see about this later. Or in the eBook at:
http://www.HowToDoubleYourSudokuSpeed.com
Note: Suduko is spelt and pronounced in more than one correct way - as Suduko, Sudoku, Su doku, etc., though we all refer to the same puzzle game. Publishers, Newspapers and web sites prefer ‘Sudoku’. However, this article spells it as ‘Suduko’.

Sudoku symmetry
By: se7en | 22-03-2007
I started playing Sudoku a few days ago (yeah, I know) and I noticed that the puzzles are symmetrical: if you turn them around 180 degrees the pre-filled digits will be in the exact same place. At least this is how it works on www.websudoku.com.I have two questions about it:1. Are all Sudoku puzzles built like this?2. I thought that since the puzzles have this symmetry, If I find which digit is in place X, I'll be able to find the digit in place (X+180 degrees), but it doesn't work like this. Why?
