sudoku

Ah, of course. There's nothing better to put your newfound intelligence to work on than sudoku puzzles.

At least, not in this highly uncreative universe. So you start solving one... wait a minute, that seven can't go there.

retrace your steps exactly, in perpetuity

You work out the sudoku from the beginning to see where you went wrong... and a seven has to go there? But it can't? What is wrong with this sudoku?


You begin an endless cycle of trying to figure out what went wrong with your sudoku attempts, in which you constantly make the exact deductions you made the previous time. Somehow it never occurs to you to consider that the puzzle you're looking at may be impossible.

You are now an impossible Sudoku puzzle. A sentient plot map of the entire adventure to date is trapped in an infinite loop of attempting to solve you.

What are you going to do about this?
