OOPSLA - Scrapheap Challenge - Challenge 2 solution

For the second challenge, we built a soduku solver for the daily Sudoku competition.

Solution:

  1. Download the competition page using dump mode in w3m (a text only web browser).
  2. Manipulate the string with grep and python to convert it to the needed format (an 81 character string describing the Sudoku).
  3. Use a python sudoku solver to find the solution.

hey... eric and I are hanging out at camp smalltalk, which is currently in the hall near the grand ballroom. I dunno where you are or how free form the space is but I wouldn't mind coming in and seeing how you're doing.
