It seems obvious to me that CCs pollute HTML, because they are outside the specifications. As you point out, using CCs to manage stylesheet hacks is a socks-all-over-the-place maintenance problem. I do use CSS hacks - one can hardly not - but believe they should appear next to the line they're hacking.</p> <p>I did find a use for CCs though, recently: http://www.copypastecode.com/codes/view/2689. Serve a PNG to browsers that can cope with it, a GIf to those that can't. A total hack, though - content negotiation would be a better way to do this (in this specific case though it would have required me to learn more VB Script than is healthy).</p> <p>CCs will realy come into their own when the Exterminate IE6 campaign gets underway.</p> Thanks for your thoughts, Jens.

CCs will realy come into their own when the Exterminate IE6 campaign gets underway.

Why do you say that CCs “pollute” HTML?

I may, late? Because. There’s no point in using Conditional Comments.

After I wrote the first comment - I solved the puzzle and it appears that your program was 'almost' right. What appeared at first to be a large error was only a 4 in place of the correct figure 8 - which appeared as 4s all 'over the place'. My observation is that your logic worked but the 'housekeeping' failed to put (print) one digit in the proper location.

You didn't goof. There is a subtle bug which only shows up occasionally. I did a lengthy investigation a while back when it was first reported to me by Kim (above), but couldn't figure it out. Haven't had a chance to look at it since :-( Sorry about this. If you (or anyone else) feels like having a look over the algorithm (even if you don't program) you might be able to see what I could not. Hi Otto

But, today, I entered (twice) a puzzle that I was having problems with but the result had duplicate numbers in boxes and rows. Did I goof?

I could make it right by juggling a few 2's and 3's about, but there must be a flaw in the script?
