In fact, any cellphone can now solve the puzzle, thanks to the newly updated mobile phone application, called 'Google Goggles' which uses a cellphone's camera to capture a picture of any Sudoku and then sends it back to Google.

The company's servers compute the answers and send an image of the completed puzzle back to the user. Depending on the speed of the phone's Internet connection, the results can be back in seconds.
