Is there any restraints other than rows & columns? If not, there are 5 different solutions (and thus deemed an invalid puzzle):

Code: Select all

23514

45231
51423

Note if only rows/columns are restraints, they should not be called "Sudokus", only "Latin Square Puzzles" or some fancy name mentioned by dukuso which I've forgotten...

At least you could have made a diagonal puzzle...

I believe latin squares are older than sudoku are they not?

Why not invent binary sudoku while you're at it?
