you could generate it with setting as a base set:

my code took about 14 days to run in full when i test ran it 10+ years ago... not great...

StrmCkr, As your signature line says: "I am into looking it up right now" NOT trying to program it - others have done that - I just want them to share their results! As I start looking around on posts that go back many years, I am starting to find some good stuff! Now, I am just pulling out my shovel and doing a little mining!

maybe this thread will give you more information...

coloin, is this generated by the sudou64.exe "1to9only" has in his github repository? [just curious]

Just repeated the first couple of lines of the "100" first bands.

1. Is there any significance [to me] of the stuff that follows the "#" ?
2. Is this list itself in minlex order?
3. when you say band to you mean just the first horizontal band of 27 chars?
(because I don't see a difference in line 1 and line 2 until the 65th char)

4. This may depend on answer to 3! Is the first line of 81 chars the first
complete grid of band-1 - and then there would be many more 81-char
lines [not shown] that would be in band-1 And so on for each of the other 416 lines?
