Note: I put this program into the solver on sudokuwiki.org and it couldn't find any numbers. I then gave it cell H7 (the only cell with two possibilities) and still no luck. Then I gave it cell G7 (which became the only cell with two possibilities) and it was only able to solve one cell...
For what it's worth I only submitted the question to gauge the community interest in questions like that one. And I don't mind the close votes or the negative reaction... what I mind is the "close votes" without discussion... we are trying to figure out what is and is not appropriate
so it's not appropriate. fine. but tell the community why
@durron597 1. That isn't a question (did you mean “what's the solution of this sudoku?”? or “how can I solve this sudoku?”?). 2. You didn't state any question, we can't read your mind. 3. This reinforces my idea that “solve this puzzle” is not a good question for this site

This Area 51 discussion suggests that posting brainteasers as questions should be allowed.
I think these could be one of the most, accessible, interesting possible posts to keep the community engaged. (We're here because we like puzzles, right?)
Eventually, we'll probably need to think as a gro...

They are the key to establishing the boundaries around your site.
I'm just asking you to talk about it, not to support the question, I don't care if my question is closed, I just want to discuss why
I feel like it should be policy that when the questions are "here is a riddle, please try to answer it" the answers should be required to make liberal use of spoiler tags.
That way people can't accidentally get spoiled on answers before they even read the question.
I think there should also b...
This is kind of a meta-answer.
I don't know what the right policy should be, but the policy needs to be consistent
Here, I posted a puzzle and asked the community to solve it. I got 6 upvotes and a generally positive response
Here, I posted a really challenging sudoku, and asked the community ...
