The repeated 4 in the first 2x2 subgrid vilotate the sudoko rule, however placing the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 in the grid such that there are no repetitions along the columns and across the rows, we get: 3412; 4123; 2341; 1234. Therefore the missing digit is 3

Hi everyone 😎 The solution for the empty cell [?] in row 4, column 3 of the Sudoku grid is 3. This choice is determined based on Sudoku rules, where 3 is the only valid number that does not appear in the same row, column, or 2x2 block containing the empty cell. Result: 3 4 1 2 4 1 2 3 2 3 4 1 1 2 [3] 4 answer : 3

It is the blank number, but is there a reason why it’s assumed it’s a 3 using the sudoku approach. Surely it could be any single number other than 1,2 or 4???

Maybe it's 3 and full picture is: 412 4123 1234 One problem - why 3rd row is empty...
