My Little Puzzle game

[viruskiller]

on a second tought i think this is just another failed attempt of getting a solved table:/

this is a hand swaped table, is still valid, but on a closer look u can see that some pairs of numbers stick to eachoter trough out the regions
3 5 7 4 2 8 1 6 9

4 2 8 1 6 9 3 5 7

1 6 9 3 5 7 4 2 8


5 7 4 2 8 1 6 9 3

2 8 1 6 9 3 5 7 4

6 9 3 5 7 4 2 8 1




7 4 2 8 1 6 9 3 5

8 1 6 9 3 5 7 4 2

9 3 5 7 4 2 8 1 6

Glad to see I am not the only one racking my brain on this.

I have been able to come up with a few different ways to complete a Sudoku board. The problem I am having is with removing numbers yet still having valid hints to solve the puzzle?

I concluded that you would have to make the code play the game over and over using defined parameters( hints the player would use ). Any ideas?

Edit: The minimum amount of starting numbers on a Sudoku board is 17.
