    Sudoku anyone??

    My new hobby is "SUDOKU" ! I found it by accident, and since then I am highly addicted.... . 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???

    Wohoo Jen! 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!

    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

    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

    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?

    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.

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -

    Divided we fall.
