The first three statements below apply to this specific puzzle. The last statement is one of the rules of Sudoku.  p: Some of the columns in the puzzle contain the numeral 4. q: Some of the boxes do not contain the numeral 4. r: None of the squares in box one contains the numeral 4. RULE: All columns of the puzzle will contain the numeral 4 once the puzzle is solved. If we combine the ideas about the numeral 4 expressed in these statements, we see that the numeral 4 should be written in the square located at the bottom right corner of box one. After placing the numeral 4 in box one, which of the three logic statements – if any – are now false? CHOOSE ALL THAT APPLY.  

Sudoku_4_Canvas Open the above file to read some history and see the puzzle that will be discussed. Copy the puzzle onto your own paper; be sure to indicate the nine individual boxes with dark lines. In this activity, we will use logical statements to solve a Sudoku puzzle. As we work, we will refer to the individual cells that hold a number as squares, and we will refer to the nine grids with dark outlines as boxes. The boxes will be numbered from one through nine in the same way that paragraphs are read in English, which is left to right and top to bottom. In a similar fashion, we will number the vertical columns from left to right as columns one through nine, and we will number horizontal rows from top to bottom as rows one through nine.

Indicate whether the statement is a simple statement or a compound statement. If it is a compound statement, indicate whether it is a conjunction, disjunction, or conditional statement.  If the numeral 5 appears in box three, none of the empty squares in box three can contain a 5.

TRUE or FALSE: The numeral 8 can now be correctly placed in box four without guessing.
