We generated 10 sudoku puzzles (9 evil, 1 hard) to test both the heuristic and non-heuristic versions of the sudoku solver.  After testing, we found that the heuristic sudoku solver was a perfect 10/10 but the non-heuristic solver ran into some problems on some of the puzzles we tested.  Puzzle 6 presented an error in the rules of the non-heuristic solver whereas the other puzzles were simply missing rules that would be necessary to solve the given puzzle.

Here are the Puzzles:

puzzle 1

puzzle 2

puzzle 3

puzzle 4

puzzle 5

puzzle 6

puzzle 7

puzzle 8

puzzle 9

puzzle 10
