Nice connection! I like it! I'll try this process out with some teachers and point them here. Thanks!

Thanks for the comment, Ken! I had originally made this worksheet as a handout to go with a presentation for my contemporary and applied mathematics class and subsequently used it for a small demo in my discrete structures class, and it served each well. If you or a colleague can think of anything that would improve it though, please let me know.

Info for Teachers
Want to use my puzzles in your class? Feel free to do so! I only ask a few things in return:
- If you want me to hold back the solution for any puzzle that you plan to use, please let me know ahead of time. Otherwise I may honor requests for solutions and accidentally help some students cheat.
- If you would like a copy of a puzzle without my blog header and contact info, please contact me and I'll do my best to provide a PDF that meets your needs.
- If you would like more puzzles of a particular type, easier or harder puzzles of a type, or some other custom request for puzzles, worksheets, or other materials, please contact me. I'm happy to help for free as time permits.

Someone in my class said that this takes all the fun out of sudoku puzzle solving. Thoughts?
