How to solve a 9x9 sudoku

1. Every row, every column and every 3 by 3 box needs the numbers 1 to 9, once each.
2. Find a row, column or box with only one empty square, and fill in what is missing.
3. Choose one number and check each box: where can it still go?
4. When you finish, check each row and column one more time.
