A human with sufficient pens and paper available is a (time-constrained) universal Turing machine, so the only Sudokus that aren't solvable by humans are those that take longer than a few decades to solve. In practice, humans don't like spending that much time on solving a single puzzle. And to most humans emulating a Turing machine is also not particularly enjoyable.


There are lots of Sudokus wuth multiple correct solutions, and no way to differentiate them.


These shouldn't be considered valid sudoku puzzles. Uniqueness is an attribute of valid puzzles.
