Sudoku
I have a new friend, and it’s called sudoku. It’s a Japanese puzzle game using the numbers 0-9 to fill in boxes, lines, and columns. It is too fun.
Now I can play it anywhere with my newest toy; my hand-held sudoku game. 5 levels of pleasure and pain should keep me occupied for a while. Now I can only hope that I have enough rechargeable batteries ready to go to keep it running!

I love Sudoku as well. I’ve always been an avid crossword puzzle solver, but then I discovered Sudoku. I find myself working on these while on the Metro or in between meetings. I have even joined an online group filled with thousands of Sudoku puzzlers all over the world. This is a fabulous addiction. I’m glad to see I’m not alone.

Thanks for your comments Marcy. Maybe we need to start a support group. “Hi, my name is Kurt, and I have a Sudoku problem…”
Here’s the link to an article that might be of interest to you also.

If you want to try out something new in sudoku, try shendoku, using the sudoku rules but playing two people, one against the other, like battleshipps. They have a free version to download at http://www.shendoku.com/sample.pdf . Anything else they are bringing out or they are working on you can find at www.shendoku.com or at they´r blog www.shendoku.blogspot.com . Have fun, I am. I specially like one slogan I heard about Shendoku: SUDOKU is like masturbation (on your own)…. SHENDOKU is like sex (it takes two).

Having sudoku introduced to my life is indeed one of the exciting chapter around. Well, it’s really not hard to understand. A person only need to use simple logic and work his way out towards solving the puzzle. It’s really frustrating at times but with perseverance and commitment, a person will find satisfaction in the end. The same way it does to me.

Ahh yes, Sodoku. Lovely Sodoku
I personally think it’s a great game, it takes a lot of skill and a lot of thought into it.
And seeing as you can do it on a small pad of paper, makes it even better to play.
I bought myself a $5 electronic gadget from the local $2 shop (yeah I know, spent $5 in a $2 shop :P) and that allows me to play Sodoku with random games, and 3 play levels. It’s a pretty good deal if you ask me.

its definitely a great game as i came across when i was sitting in a SAT Exams. In the paper, we were presented two very intuitive
SAT encodings for Sudoku puzzles: the minimal encoding and the extended encoding.
The minimal
encoding suffices to characterize Sudoku puzzles, whereas the extended encoding adds redundant
clauses to the minimal encoding.

Hi guys!
I am a fan of Sudoku too. I play it a lot on my computer when I’m bored.
But this hand-held Sudoku game looks great.It’s too bad that you need batterries to run. I think that it would be more cool if it could recharge itself from the sun.You can then play 24/7 without worrying about the batteries.
