Yo, brute‑forcing Sudoku on a Pi? Sure thing! Just do classic backtracking with constraint propagation—keep a bitmask for each row, column, and block so you can drop invalid candidates in a blink. The dance‑links algorithm (DLX) is a fancy bit‑wise version that can solve almost any puzzle in milliseconds, even on a Pi 3. If you want quirky shortcuts, try pre‑solving the 3x3 blocks first, then apply the "naked twins" trick to prune the search tree. With a decent heuristic like choosing the empty cell with the fewest candidates, a Pi can juggle a few thousand puzzles per minute. If that’s too slow, crank up the cache and use a small C extension. Happy hacking!
