Hi P.O.,

Ok. Now I understand how two-digit POM templates are combined, i.e., by taking non-overlapping templates of each digit out of all valid each digit templates.

However, for two-digit (or multi-digit) POM, one need to keep track of all the valid single-digit POM of both (or all of) the digits.

In case of an empty Sudoku puzzle, each digit POM maximum number of valid template count is 15,552 (i.e., 3 x 5184 for each digit). Playing with such a huge data need linked list, which is not available in C language (or, I don't know) right now. Once, I will be able to record such a huge data, i.e., for three-digit, there are 46,656 templates need to be examined.

Thank you for your guidance and support for taking the time to provide such detailed and constructive feedback.
