Number: Puzzle #1329
Genre: Grades
Author: connect4
Appeared at: May 8, 2009
I found two solutions, one of them being "correct".
The other merely switches 2 digits column-wise, or row-wise.
Did the judges not see this?

bartus,
What is the alternate solution that you found? I just resolved the problem, and I came to a single solution again. I certainly may have made a mistake, but I'm pretty sure that my logic was sound.
Thanks,

Hey, I also checked, and it still seemed unique to me.

Never mind. I'm sooo stoooooopid (sometimes )
I forgot the most basic constraint: "such that no two horizontally, vertically or diagonally adjacent cells contain a digit."
I checked and double checked my 'solutions' before deciding to post this. But I didn't check the actual constraints for this puzzle type...
Duh....

No worries, I've done the same thing too many times
Glad to see it was a misunderstanding, and not a duplicate answer. That would be bad
