May 16, 2014 at 15:05 comment added Kevin @JoeZ. you should probably clarify that in the question.
May 16, 2014 at 15:04 comment added Kevin @ratchetfreak I see, you mean the center row, column, and 3x3. Joe and I interpreted your statement as saying the center (5,5) itself was breaking the symmetry.
May 16, 2014 at 15:04 comment added user88 They don't have to be the same number. The only thing that's rotationally symmetrical is that the square is filled in.
May 16, 2014 at 15:02 comment added ratchet freak @kevin for example the number at 5,1 must also be at 5,9 (1 based index) this immediately violates the sudoku invariant
May 16, 2014 at 14:59 comment added Kevin @ratchetfreak why do you think the center can't be symmetric? Like Joe said, it is trivially symmetric.
May 16, 2014 at 14:29 comment added ratchet freak still the center square can't be 180° rotational symmetrical, and the squares on the sides can't be part of that
May 16, 2014 at 14:15 comment added user88 By rotationally symmetrical, I mean the positions of the clues can be rotated 180 degrees and will overlap itself perfectly.
May 16, 2014 at 14:13 comment added ratchet freak 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
May 16, 2014 at 14:12 comment added user88 The center square is symmetrical with itself.
May 16, 2014 at 14:11 comment added ratchet freak rotationally symmetric how, just the center square stops it from being symmetric
