A Sudoku variant...
a RED # is the correct game # and is set at beginning
a BLUE # is the sum of the two nearby hidden game #'s
a WHITE #/? is a hidden game #, your guess can be changed....
For all white #'s and white question mark (?)
.... ARROW KEYS move cursor
.... (A) lets you enter your guess
.... (B) sets your guess back to a "?"
.... (PAUSE) will show and set the correct # (if you get stuck)
Each time you adjust your guess, it will check for a win...
WIN = ALL game #'s turn RED, and game stops

Use this to help determine what #'s can be played, using the SUM clues....
REM SUM 3 = (1,2)
REM SUM 4 = (1,3)
REM SUM 5 = (1,4) OR (2,3)
REM SUM 6 = (1,5) OR (2,4)
REM SUM 7 = (1,6) OR (2,5) OR (3,4)
REM SUM 8 = (1,7) OR (2,6), OR (3,5)
REM SUM 9 = (1,8) OR (2,7) OR (3,6) OR (4,5)
REM SUM 10 = (1,9) OR (2,8) OR (3,7) OR (4,6)
REM SUM 11 = (2,9) OR (3,8) OR (4,7) OR (5,6)
REM SUM 12 = (3,9) OR (4,8) OR (5,7)
REM SUM 13 = (4,9) OR (5,8) OR (6,7)
REM SUM 14 = (5,9) OR (6,8)
REM SUM 15 = (6,9) OR (7,8)
REM SUM 16 = (7,9)
REM SUM 17 = (8,9)

So in my saved game picture above....
.... looking inside the top left green square...
All 9 #'s inside the green square are #'s 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
The known preset #'s are 1,7,5
The blue 14 is the sum of the unknown number to it's left + the unknown number to it's right
The blue 9 is the sum of the unkown number above it + then unknown # below it
My example also includes some white numbers where i used the (PAUSE) button to show some more actual game numbers... call it a Help or Cheat, use it as much or as little as you want ;)
