This Challenge is derived from GJam 2014 China Sudoku. Large Case.
The Goal is determine if the Sudoku square is valid. Each row and column must contain 1:N, for an NxN matix. Nroot=N^.5. Each NrootxNroot block must contain 1:N where blocks start at [1,1+Nroot,...] in Row/Col.
Input: [M], NxN matrix (3^2<=N<=6^2)
Output: TF, 1=Valid, 0=Invalid
Examples:
TF=1 5 3 4 6 7 8 9 1 2 6 7 2 1 9 5 3 4 8 1 9 8 3 4 2 5 6 7 8 5 9 7 6 1 4 2 3 4 2 6 8 5 3 7 9 1 7 1 3 9 2 4 8 5 6 9 6 1 5 3 7 2 8 4 2 8 7 4 1 9 6 3 5 3 4 5 2 8 6 1 7 9
