I'm feeling a bit bored, so let's have a little contest, shall we?
Not so much a contest as me just spreading my love for Sudoku.
What is Sudoku? Sudoku is a japanese mathematical game that should be easy to understand. Rules can be read here, if you are unfamiliar with 'em.
Now, the challenge itself is that I will provide a Sudoku puzzle at the bottom of this page. If you've solved the puzzle, PM me the solution. The first three to solve the Sudoku puzzle will receive 10 million credits. I will double this prize if you are below 1st Rear Admiral rank.
Now, without further ado, the puzzle:
I will no longer accept solutions after the 15th of May, so keep that in mind if you are intent on solving this.
//Modification: Put an easier puzzle. I'm the contest maker, I can do that. I just realized it would probably be a bit unfair to present a puzzle of high difficulty without first ascertaining whether or not everyone is even aware of how this works.

I sincerely hope this is sarcasm, if not, you should be stripped of your staff position for such /utter/ stupidity.

You can't be seriously arguing with me about this.
Sudoku is pure process of elimination, which is barely a mathematical principle at best. Find out what can't be in one space, or set of spaces, until you have the answers. Answer square by square until you are eventually led to the solution.
I can see how there would be math involved in creating a Sudoku puzzle, but you don't need math to solve one. You just need a brain and some patience. I have never once required math to solve a Sudoku puzzle, so I thought it was kind of ridiculous that someone didn't want to do Sudoku because they didn't want to do math.
And you guys are making fun of me?

I remember reading up about the last person who did that.
How did his left hand get to orbit Jupiter again?
