One would expect it to be around a million times slower. Just try it. The example had a minimum of clues (drop one clue and you'll get multiple solutions). <URL: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/science-news/9359579/W orlds-hardest-sudoku-can-you-crack-it.html> mentions this puzzle: ======================================================================== 8 . . . . . . . . . . 3 6 . . . . . . 7 . . 9 . 2 . . . 5 . . . 7 . . . . . . . 4 5 7 . . . . . 1 . . . 3 . . . 1 . . . . 6 8 . . 8 5 . . . 1 . . 9 . . . . 4 . . ======================================================================== It takes about 2 seconds for my Python program to find the answer but it spends a total of 110 seconds to exhaust the problem space. The analogous C program finished the whole thing in 200 milliseconds. Marko
