The puzzles in Sudoku aren’t allways correct, i think. Some of the puzzles have more than one solution. A number can be filled in at more than one spot. Is this the way it should be? Or should there be only one possibility?
Anyway, if you have a puzzles with several possibilities you can’t beat the record in time, because you have to try to many times before you fould the correct spot for the number. flashcompetition blush

I thought I had fixed this, seems not, can you tell me the quanity of the boxes left in the end with multiple solutions? are it just 4 or more then that? Either way, when you’re in such a situation any possible solution will be taken as a good solution, so you wont have to try many times. One try is enough. If you’re sure that there are two possibilities left at one spot, you can enter either of them and still get a good solution. If in the end it seems you chose wrong, then your assumption seemed false and there was only one possibility for that box.

I’ll look at it when I have the time, as I said I thought I’d fixed that annoying bug, seems I underestimated randomness :/

alright, if there isn't a mistake in the screen it should have accepted the solution. Just post the screenshot so we can check if it truly is a correct solution or if there's some small mistake somewhere.

No too sure. The thing is that the puzzle check works its way through the puzzle using basic sudoku rules: No doubles in a row or column and no doubles in a 9x9 box.

Did you click the "Check answer" button after you finished it? If so, all I can say is that I hope it will not happen again.
