The link mentions a Norvig-Jeffries showdown on writing a Sudoku solver. Kinda unfair since Norvig pretty much wrote the book on it. :P

- andrewcooke 17y agoyeah, i think this needs to be better understood. norvig was not "solving" much of anything there. he was simply writing out a solution for a problem he had solved many times before. that doesn't mean he's not a smart guy, but it's wrong to infer, from comparing those articles, that he doesn't make mistakes.
