I'd like to see a solver that works in a similar way to how a human would solve a puzzle.

"This square must be a 5 because a 5 can't appear in any other cell in this row."




The algo described in the 'constraint propigation' section was basically how I implemented my sodoku solver, and it basically can do 99% of all puzzles thrown at it. And it wasn't particularly complicated.
