Sudoku Lesson for 3

Solve Sudoku (click to enlarge)
The Japanese give this puzzle its current name, but it was really first introduced in the 18th century by the Swiss mathemetician, Leonhard Euler. So you understand the basic concept, and you can fill in the obvious missing numbers, and you even write tiny numbers in the corners of the squares of the possible answers to each square, but then you get stuck. There’s logic in this challenging puzzle, and Mark is offering to enlighten 3 lucky winners in a single group lesson at his home. Refreshments will be served..
