Maths question

[Albert Park]

How many different ways can the numbers be inserted into a Soduko grid? If you could show how you worked it out that would be spot on.

Not knowing how many numbers are already filled in on the Soduko grid you work on, it isn't possible this week to return a specific answer. If you were to come back next week with the same question - given that the clue variables count is constant then it can be calculated for the publication teasing you.

Other than the above take a mental trudge with this link...
