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.

Just two weeks ago, I lost my Sudoku virginity -- and the process I used was EXACTLY like the one described. (Note: I am no good at math, I know of algorithms by definition only, my use of math in life consists of measuring out press sheets for maximum printing efficency.) Since my first instinct, numbers novice that I am, was to use this method to solve the puzzle - I'm amazed that this is even a topic of discussion... doesn't everyone do it this way?

I only brought it up coz I had thought that sudoku was more of a puzzle than a fidget-toy. (Not that there's anything wrong with fidget-toys. Watch me play Animal Crossing any time.)
