Expert Level Puzzle Observations:
1. few numbers: 23
2. appear to be randomly generated and randomly placed
Procedure:
1. Get expert level puzzle from sudoku.com
2. see how many different numbers it takes to solve the puzzle.
3. remove low numbers and only keep 23 (same number as baseline)
all numbers will be the highest value until I reach 23 numbers
4. run algorithm and see how many numbers it takes for just high numbers
5. start fresh with the beginning puzzle (baseline) and resolve.
6. remove high numbers and only keep 23 (same number as baseline)
all numbers will be the lowest value until I reach 23 numbers
7. run algorithm to see how many numbers it takes for just the low numbers
8. compare/record results
9. repeat
I'm only looking at numbers and if their value affects the numbert of attempts it
takes to solve the puzzle. I am not keeping track of position in puzzle
