Sudoku anyone??

My new hobby is "SUDOKU" ! I found it by accident, and since then I am highly addicted.... :D . It looks like this:

You must add the missing numbers. But: only one same number in every horizental row, in every vertical row, and in one square. Try it, it is mightly difficult, as there is only 1 solution. But once you've got the hang of it, it is fun!!

Anymore sudoku-fans here on Pet Talk???

It looks highly addicting!!! Where do you get the puzzles?

I find a "fresh" one every day on the internet! It is in Dutch of course, but that doesn't change the puzzle ;) . I also bought a little book full of these puzzles!! Yeah!!!

WOO HOO!!!! I did it!

Wohoo Jen! :D I'm new to it too. ;)

I know there's one where you can put the numbers in (2 in one field and small size) until you know which one is right. I'll find it!

Edit: Here it is: http://www.lovatts.com.au/sudoku/sudoku.htm

I student aide for my old precalculus teacher and she has these puzzles EVERYWHERE. She gives them to me as I finish them and they're so addicting. I can sit through Humanities and English and never have to listen to a single world the teacher says. :P

Hahaha, i have seen these in the paper before, but I never got what I was supposed to do. :o

I love those! I just did my first one about a month ago, it took me a long time! It was fun, though, gave my brain a good workout! ;)

If you enter "daily sudoku" into Google, you get enough so that you never have to buy a book ;)

OMG, my husband spends HOURS and HOURS playing that! He's a math prof, and he really loves puzzels, he thnks this is the best. The computer claps & cheers when you get it right, so now I clap along with it!

Hey, great! I LOVE Sudokus* and wasn't aware of either site.

I've recently finished a booklet of them and was looking for new ones.

Thanks, all!

* I started playing them years ago when they were called Number Place or Number Place Squares by Dell. I read an interesting article about their name change in Japan, before they really became popular. I wonder if I can find it again?

Wow, I didn't know it exists for years ! Thought it was a new game. I love it, I cannot resist when I see it :rolleyes: :D

SUDOKU in Japanese means-

Highly addictive numbers puzzle that frustrates you at first, then you get very good and forget you have other things to do because you cannot put them down. :D
