#The process of completing a Sudoku square is about sorting what numbers "have" to go in a certain square vrs those that "cannot" go there - ie a process of elimination.<br />
#If it gets tough put numbers on the outer edge of the main square indicating numbers that "must" be in a line adjacent. Some times you will have the numbers but not exact positions but this assists with the process of elimination.<br />
