A Breakthrough In Sudoku Technique

Our book is very close to release - thanks to everyone who supported the Kickstarter. If you still need to order it then you can do so here:

Today's sudoku is called Steering Wheel - it's by SudokuExplorer and it's a normal classic... or is it? Simon is asked to try and get a computer to solve the puzzle BEFORE he attempts it... and the results are rather scary! Give it a try at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.

PS Thanks to everyone who joined us for Simon's stream playing The Witness on Thursday - it was a blast! We'll announce on our Twitter (@crypticcracking) when we'll be going live again (perhaps next Tuesday)...

PPS If we manage to reach 400,000 subscribers then we'll be releasing a video where Mark and Simon answer community questions! Please email us at crackingthecryptic@gmail.com if you have a good question for them :)
