As the above two stated, I did the same thing. It's pretty cool and pointless.

Pretty simple technology. There has been text recognition software on the market for years and writing code to solve a soduko probably isn't all that hard. Combining those to run on a phone in a seamless quick program is the challenge.

Being an electrical engineer, I only program when I have to, but I would say that an algorithm that works on a phone as quickly as that did to solve a Sudoku puzzle is pretty impressive.

Didn't some E Coli solve a Sudoku in China recently? I would like to see Google keep you on the toilet all day!
