Answer 14

Answer 15

Every time you fill in a box with an appropriate number, you eliminate that number from further consideration. For example, if 3 does not yet appear in a row or column, it might be (but is not guaranteed to be) the appropriate number to put in that box. However, using 3 this time means you can NOT use it further in the same row or column.

Explain what "random number generator" means and whether you think it appropriate for choosing new number to insert into a suduko puzzle.

Answer 16

In other words, you can use each digit in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ONLY ONCE.

Answer 17

Random number generator or random number table mean approx. the same thing here.

What does a random number generator do? Does a random number generator stop itself from spitting out the same number twice?

Answer 18

it picks numbers at random and I don't know? maybe it could eliminae as it keeps giving random numbers?

Answer 19

It has no such capability. It stupidly spits out numbers with NO consideration for their appropriateness.

Answer 20

For this reason I would answer NO, a random # generator is not suited for choosing the next digit to be inserted in a row or column of a Sudoku puzzle.

Answer 21

Hope this has helped you. what I have already typed to you is the best I can do for now.

Answer 22

then what would be the best thing to measure the soduku?

Answer 23

is there anything that considers appropriateness?

Answer 24

You have to eliminate the digits that have already been used.

In each box you place ONE number that has NOT already been used in a given row or column. This requires reasoning on your part, a process of elimination of numbers that do not follow Sudoku rules.

Answer 25

"is there anything that considers appropriateness?" See my immediate previous comments, above. Every digit you write into a given box MUST follow Sudoku rules both vertically (columns) and horiz (rows).

Answer 26

and a random number genertor does NOT have the capability to make such judgments.

Answer 27

generator, I meant.

Answer 28

alright thank you very much for explaining, do you think that you could assign me a similar practice problem to check if I can understand related questions?

Answer 29

I would like very much to be of further help, but as I explained earlier, it's time for me to get off OpenStudy.

I'd recommend you do as many of the review problems as possible for study and practice.

Answer 30

Good night, Danielle. Hope to work with you again soon.

Answer 31

alright thank you very much for your help

Answer 32

You're welcome. Bye!
