So, just a weep gripe, I'm a big Sudoku fan...

I have all sorts of puzzle books and regularly get new ones, it would be nice though, if my local paper (a big metropolitan one mind you) had more than just one in it. They do at least rate them through the week, and saturdays 6 stars are super difficult..

However, I did like the papers at home recently when I was on holiday, that were stuffed full everyday with 3 or 4 sudokus and other puzzles..

Just making a point...

I was doing them for a while. I found a freeware program that generates them at varying levels of difficulty. Eventually I became bored with it, though. As you learn the more advanced solving techniques, you need to move to higher and higher difficulty levels... and learn more techniques, move up again, etc. The novelty wore off.

I play Sudoku but find that even the supposedly really hard ones are too easy; every now and then I find a tough one though - I prefer KenKen which can be complicated enough more often than Sudoku, but again it can be too easy more often than not.

SDDep

That just tells me one thing Neil...you're way smarter than me....

Just dont tell my missus, I have her convinced I'm the smartest guy on the PLANET....

neil

I just have a very logical brain - doesn't make me smarter.

SDDep

ok, fair enough...more logical than me...but not this guy..

Sudoku is Japanese for "boring twat has no life"

apparently.

meauxna

SDDep

thats exactly it...

SDDep

Well Manc, if you want to get super technical about what it actually means...(apparently)


Not to be confused with Sodoku.

A Sudoku puzzle...


...and its solution numbers marked in redSudoku (数独, sūdoku?, listen (help·info)) (English pronunciation: /suːˈdoʊkuː/ soo-DOH-koo) is a logic-based,[1][2] combinatorial[3] number-placement puzzle. The objective is to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 sub-grids that compose the grid (also called "boxes", "blocks", "regions", or "sub-squares") contains all of the digits from 1 to 9. The puzzle setter provides a partially completed grid, which typically has a unique solution.Completed puzzles are always a type of Latin square with an additional constraint on the contents of individual regions. For example, the same single integer may not appear twice in the same 9x9 playing board row in the same 9x9 playing board column or
in any of the nine 3x3 subregions of the 9x9 playing board.[4]
The puzzle was popularized in 1986 by the Japanese puzzle company Nikoli, under the name Sudoku, meaning single number.[5] It became an international hit in 2005.[6]

Blah Blah Blah...))))
