does anyone have an algorithm to determine whether a sodoku puzzle is
solvable or not? (not the brute force approach of course) And what how
to determine the minimum number of cells that need to be pre-set in
order for the puzzle to have no more than 1 solution?

if this is not the right forum please suggest the right one thanks
any input is appreciated
