Brainless Sudoku

[prog]

Puzzle people:

Is this for real? Can all Sudoku be solved - and solved relatively quickly - by this brute force method?

If so, I think that's pretty funny.

Haven't tried this myself, so I'm not sure, but one example of a puzzle that couldn't be solved in this method would be one where you know X numbers have to go in X specific boxes, (and can therefore rule those numbers out in the other boxes in the groups/rows/columns they share).
