Any additive offset to a row or column from a valid state that doesn't cause a value collision also satisfies the permutation condition.

Rotations, row swaps and column swaps also yield valid results. Of course, these are actually a subset of the additive transformation. If you think about it, the 1 .. 9 square is just the all 1's square subjected to 9 row additions and 3 column additions; the minimum necessary number to achieve element uniqueness.

The real question for me is are there valid results which are not mappable via addition to the base square.

#11929 First ask yourself `How would I do this without a computer?' Then have the computer do it the same way.
