Well, you just said sudoku.

As others have pointed out, maybe intelligence derived from language just isn't very good at math? It's not like linear algebra comes naturally to humans, we have to be specially trained. I've been taking Khan Academy classes and believe me, math sure doesn't come naturally to me.

I realize tempers are high on this subject, but I literally just wanted to point it out, in case you hadn't seen it. I wasn't trying to dunk on you or anything.
