sorry about that. but how can anyone slove it that quick in like 19 sec

just copying a complete solution with a pencil to a blank page would require > 4 digits / sec
there's a catch somewhere

[gfroyle]

The catch is that the whole page, in fact whole site, is a troll/parody...

Quite amusing in a weird sort of way, but not quite subtle enough - he needs to tone down the claims to ALMOST believable, rather than patently ridiculous... (see the link "amazing sudoku" for some giveaways)

thank you. i doubt this guy can even slove one sudoku. he says this one that took someone 3 min too him like 7 sec. that is impossible

He must be slowing down.

If you do check out his amazing claims you'll find that he can do 201.5 Sudokus a second.
