Sometime in autumn 2009 i created a sudoku solver in haskell as a programming exercise for myself.

I am pretty happy with the result, it took no more than an afternoon to implement and has been able to solve everything I tried in a couple of seconds. Now I can happily smile to myself whenever I see someone solving sudokus from the newspaper ;)
