#10 pencil marks oragnized

[Anonymous]

One method for solving involves using pencil marks for
all possible values and eliminating impossible marks.
What's left should solve the puzzle (like Sherlock
Holmes saying). In current ksudoku the pencil marks all
appear on the top line in the order you enter them
somtimes going invisible off the edge of the square for
large multiple possibilities.

if you organize the pencil marks in order or grid them
(like angus johnson's simple sudoku:
http://angusj.com/sudoku/ )

so that
123 are always on the top
456 are alway in the middle
789 are always on the bottom

(see picture at above website)

it can make that method of solving much easier for very
hard puzzles

I agree; the pencil marks need organization. Another type
I've seen is simply dots in a grid to represent 123,456,789.
In either case, it's necessary to see all pencil marks for
them to have value.

I've added code to organize the pencil marks into a
3x3 grid as that's the way I like it too. Note
that this only applies to a 9th order puzzle, all
other orders revert to the old style marks.

At the moment I'm waiting to submit my changes.
