Rationale:
> Given two alternatives, it is really hard to solve a puzzle if you have only
> one note-type - you would need to note both alternative solutions at the same 
time.
>
> If notesnumbers could be colour-coded it would be possible to juggle two 
guesses at
one time.
> Because if you guess correctly you end up filling the whole board, which
> often requires subsequent guesses aswell. With both alternatives covered the
> bad one will lead to contradiction earlier.

I don't understand the rationale on this one, but maybe what's being asked 
isn't what I think it is. I used to play a version of sudoku on my old j2me 
phone called 5ud0ku, which had a different color for each number. It just 
helped you pick out the numbers easier. 7s were always blue for example. I 
could glance across the board for blue rather than the shape of a 7. Here's a
