Oh noes it's probably a "devil sodoku" I only remember that they have some ugly propertys for writing a solver for them.

half done after a few minutes, did not find this hard at all, all the answers i have written in so far were forced and did not require crazy [censored] such as guessing

I'm not very good at these - I always try them on a computer, without writing down dual/triple possibilities (which is probably why I'm not good at these) - but I actually did it on paper ... answer sent.

Got stuck in one spot for a few minutes.

your answer is correct

it definitely does require guessing, you said so yourself... this is probably the puzzle that requires guessing the earliest i've ever seen

Re: Hardest Sudoku I\'ve ever seen
 

This puzzle does not require guessing. A few applications of X-wing, Y-wing, and simple coloring can resolve this - I tossed it into a Sudoku Solver and it didn't even get to the uglier solving methods like Finned X-wing and MultiColoring etc, and it certainly didn't get into the "Trial and Error" (or guessing) methods.

sudokusolver.co.uk definitely got into guessing

Re: Hardest Sudoku I\'ve ever seen
 

www.scanraid.com/sudoku.htm did not - that's my solver of choice when playing with soduku solvers.
