Go Solve Sudoku

I just started using Go and would love for some Gophers to check out my Sudoku Solver :)
If you uncomment line 32, you can see the puzzle being solved!

This is very cool! Even though the code looks like it came from the Python Sudoku Solver video, rewriting it in Go is still nice. Coming from a Python coder, how does it work?
@Roar123 Ya! I've coded in Python a bit so translating was a nice introduction to Go. The code is split into 2 major parts:
The first is the possible() function which determines if a number can be placed in the grid based on row, column, and 3x3 grid restrictions. The second part is using a recursive solve() function to try putting possible numbers in the grid! The video also introduced a cool idea called "backtracking" where you basically revert from a bad decision (as seen in line 35).
These two functions enable Go to solve sudoku!
