Why Sudoku Lovers Are Raving About The Amazing New Possibility Matrix Method
An ordinary human being should expect at least a fragment of constructive mental progress, from his daily work. Many think they think, but few create anything new.
Just as you learn from your real-life experiences, Sudoku puzzles can help you develop your ideas, too. It also teaches you to look at things more logically. Solving at least one Sudoku a day, will help sharpen your mind, as well as, improve your creative and analytical abilities.
For instance, Sudoku trains the brain to look for the absence of items, as well as their presence, and to spot patterns. If you can apply the same principle to your shopping list, it will reduce the mental stress and strain that you might otherwise experience.
Sudoku puzzles are found everywhere. They have been categorized into easy, medium and difficult. However, the simplest method to solve these sudoku is not to be found in any of the magazines or newspapers that publish a daily sudoku.
Do we employ a different method to solve each of these sudokus? Or is there one method that can be applied to solve every sudoku puzzles. The answer to this is an emphatic yes. There is a definite and one of the most easily comprehensible methods to solve these intriguing puzzles. Before we go into the technicalities of that method, let us look into the one that most of us follow.
The world over, sudokuholics are assiduously puzzling out sudoku using the intuitive method. The intuitive method is good enough if you are able to grasp the trick of solving these puzzles. But, what if you are not able to?
The conventional method is a trial-and-error method and it need not always appeal to every puzzle lover. Some might not even find it to be an easy method to solve sudoku. Of course, it is not one of the easy methods and that is the reason why I'm writing about another method. While following the intuitive method, you might have come across a particular puzzle that you believe cannot be solved. But that may not mean that the puzzle cannot have a solution. You could have missed out on the solution. And even if it does have a solution, you may or may not arrive at one. One puzzle at times can have multiple solutions.
There have been many puzzle lovers before who have tried the conventional method and have given up on sudokus. But they would still love to go ahead and solve if given the correct and systematic way to solve these puzzles.
Solving a simple sudoku puzzle might at times become an ordeal, if you follow the trial and error method. You might just get hooked to the puzzle and may never be able to determine a time frame within which you could solve. All these reasons put together led to puzzle buffs pondering over a definite and simple method to solve sudoku.
While the entire sudoku world was complacently solving sudoku using the conventional method, Veit Elser was inspired to create an algorithm that was bound to create waves in the world of puzzles. He came up with one algorithm for imaging the tiniest and most delicate of biological specimens. Later, he used the same algorithm to solve Sudoku puzzles. While Veit Elser came up with an algorithm, I was seriously working on the simplest method to solve sudoku.
I call it the Possibility matrix method! If you want to solve sudoku my way, you don't need any algorithm, just a little bit of patience and concentration.
The Possibily Matrix method involves going through every row and column. You should first scan through the first row and the first column, before you decide on the probable number that could be placed in the first cell.
This way, you can scan and then mark the most probable numbers that could go into each empty cell.
Take a look at the explanation and worked example using the Possibility Matrix method and other sudoku tips in my e-book at http://www.howtosolveallsudokupuzzle.com.
With the possibility matrix method, the going never gets tough; only the tough get going.
