  • $\begingroup$ then it isn't a valid sudoku, all 9 digits must occur exactly once, any symmetry (besides 360°) would require a number to occur twice $\endgroup$ Commented May 16, 2014 at 14:13
  • $\begingroup$ By rotationally symmetrical, I mean the positions of the clues can be rotated 180 degrees and will overlap itself perfectly. $\endgroup$
