Sudoku
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Solve a partially filled-in normal 9x9 Sudoku grid and display the result in a human-readable format. Algorithmics of Sudoku may help implement this.

- SudokuSolver inherits from Sudoku, and adds the ability to filter
- possibilities for a square by looking at all the squares in the row, column,
- and region that the square is a part of. The method 'solve' contains a list
- of rule-objects to use, and iterates over each square on the board, applying
- each rule sequentially until the square is allocated.

- Rule is the template for the rules used in Solver. The other rule-objects
- apply their logic to the values passed in and return either '0' or a number
- to allocate to the requested square.

- Get all the allocated numbers for each square in the the row, column, and
- region containing $x,$y. If there is only one unallocated number among all
- three groups, it must be allocated at $x,$y

If we'd added a logger method (after creating the sudoku object but before running the solver) like this:
<lang tcl>oo::objdefine sudoku method Log msg {puts $msg}</lang>
Then this additional logging output would have been produced prior to the result being printed:
