i just ran into the Sudoku game yesterday for the first time... i tried it,
and found it fascinating... so....

apparently this is like a huge fad all over the world or something

This is the first I've seen of this game. It's not my thing, but man o man, my wife loves these kind of games. I'll have to show her.

I got into them about a month ago. The more difficult puzzles may take quite a bit of time to solve. You pretty much have to do a complete inventory before you can make any serious headway. I was making more errors with the inventory than with the subsequent solution so I automated the inventory process.

I started doing them a couple of months ago. I enjoy them but find I have to limit myself because I can too easily get absorbed into them and time flies by.

Kinda like the New York Times crosswords.... the "monster-hard" ones are a great way to pass the time when you can't sleep... when you're not on ScubaBoard of course

um... well... after 4 puzzles, i have confirmed my suspicion that i suck at this

but hey.... i can only get better!

Its quite the craze around other parts of the world, i only found out when i visited my family in the UK about this puzzle. I picked up a couple of books and the easy and moderate ones are kind of easy (as the name suggests ). The harder ones and those in the regular newspaper (Orlando Sentinel) are a bit tougher and take a good 20 mins.

Just use a bit of logic and occasional guesswork when several squares could be one of two options.

yeah... well... the "easy" ones (the book says they're easy) take me about
40 minutes to finish

still, they're fun. i'm just not good at them
