# I basically wrote this to determine whether or not a pattern exists in the products of the digits
# of all 5-digit numbers. Sadly, none exist, or at least I didn't see one.

# Runtime is fairly slow. It takes 1.05916786194s for all 5-digit numbers. I don't see how it
# can be optimized, so that should do the trick.

# A simple script that "slices" a Sudoku grid into 9 3x3 boxes. A similar method
# may be included in my Sudoku solver to determine whether or not a number can
# be placed in a certain cell. Should also be applicable to rows and columns.
