It's a 9*9 matrix with 9 3*3 submatrices. Each submatrix must have 9 numbers from 1-9 with no repetitions. When one combines the 9 submatrices to get a 9*9 supermatrix, each row and column of the supermatrix must have 1, and only 1, instance of the numbers 1-9.
So one has 9 3*3 matrices, the numbers 1-9 inclusive with no repetitions for each 3*3 matrix. Then combine the 9 3*3 matrices so the supermatrix has numbers 1-9 in each row and each column without repetition..
So here's how you solve 'em.. 1) Go through each 3*3 submatrix, trying to find an obvious digit that fits, from 1-9.. Each time you find an obvious fit, one must go through the entire supermatrix of submatrices again, in the sequence 1-9. When you've exhausted the possibilities, it is time to guess.
2) Guess at one where a single digit must belong to one of 2 positions. Follow step 1, and if you run into an error, that guess was wrong, and the number must rest in the other position.
3) One can adopt another strategy.. For instance, if there are 4 digits possible for a space, say, 2,3,4,5... and in another submatrix space, there are only 2 possibilities, say, 2, 3.... then the probability of the 2 being in the space with only 2 choices is larger than the probability of the 2 being in the space with 4 choices...
4) Many times, the puzzle will be lacking in 1 or 2 numbers, with a lot of the other ones. This is meant to confuse you. Do not pay attention to the numbers which are missing and try to fill those in. Instead, when it comes time to guess, try to fill a row or column so that the row or column has lots of obvious fill-ins.
5) When you guess, keep track of the number of the guess, like, "OK, this is the first guess..." then, if you must "second-guess," and that guess is wrong, the first guess was wrong as well... this is why one guesses only when there there are only 2 possibilities...
6) I have guessed up to the 8th level, but, as I get better, it only takes me 3 or 4 levels... Ah, hell, just Google for a Sudoku solver !!! I'm sure a million have already been written !! Only takes a bit of linear algebra !! Thanks..

butt-bang 

A "butt-bang" can either mean a rear action (Careful, honey, it's my first time) or a "rear-ender" car accident.
" I butt-banged 'er..!"

snootful 

A snootful refers to an excess of anything inhaled through the nostrils. I believe that "snot" is related to "snoot."
Aye, methinks that ye had a snootful last night, laddie !!!

dirty hunch 

This term was coined by Duane Allman. I think you know what it's about.
"We were feelin' chicks' tits and doin' the dirty hunch."

dumpy-dump 

This term is used to toilet/train young people. It makes the training lots of fun, like trying to teach kids numbers from the shape of their turds.
"A little dumpy-dump ??!!" Did you have a little accident ??
dumpy-dump by Johnny Chingas May 13, 2005
A large turd, and it's not left in the toiletsky too long.
Why did the boy thrust both hands in the toilet ?
Because it takes 2 hands, to handle a WHOPPER !!!

mouffette 

The French word for "skunk." A nice word for your girlfriend, along with "cochonette." (little female pig)
Good with "pet," (pay), the French word for "fart."
"Tu as l'odour d'un pet de mouffette !!"
(You smell like the fart of a skunk)
