Sudoku

[Saracen 16]

Has anyone, apart from myself, played with this Japanese logic puzzle that's now more popular than the humble crossword? For those not in the know:

 

Fill in the 9x9 grid so that every row, every column, and every 3x3 box, contains the digits 1 through 9.

 

from something as simple as this traditional puzzle to solve:

 

 

to something that looks mind boggling such as this (17 overlapping puzzles in 1):

What do you think about Sudoku??

Holy Crap!

 

Soduku have some crazy puzzles...

 

If someone here can do the one with the 17 overlapping puzzles than YOU should be called C&C King :wink:

 

Or at least something with King at the end.

 

As for me? well I'm not patient enough to do that sorta puzzle. :?

[Cygnus X-1 12]

that is awesome !!

 

might have to try it oneday

[Saracen 16]

They seem like a difficult concept to grasp, but do become quite highly addictive.. I have PC software on my machine dedicated to Sudoku, and I always take a look round the net for online puzzles, as well as doing a couple in the national newspapers..

 

Depending on how awake and focussed I am, I usually do anywhere between 1-8 of these a day... Just the basic ones mind, but I'll think I'll have a go at that mega 17 puzzle, when I'm confident enough.

They have them in the local paper.. I use to do them during my lunch breaks while I was temping.... They're a good way to waste time....

some people say that if you do puzzles like these, your mind deteriorates at a much much slower rate when you get older

makes sense, if you keep your brain active like you would keep your muscles active while exercising then it would deteriote slower than ppl who don't exercise.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

I completed the crossowrd in sundays paper....

[F15pilotX 4]

But yeah, go to websudoku.com for over 1,000,000 puzzles

[Cygnus X-1 12]

yup

 

BTW the local paper has started running Sudoku puzzles lately

[Luk3us 63]

That sounds kinda dumb. Considering there are programs on the net that can do sudko puzzles in a few seconds...

[Cygnus X-1 12]

but that defeats the purpose of actually doing them

[Luk3us 63]

Yeah but unless they have everyone come into some building and do the Sudkos then its kidna a waste of time doing a competition...

[Cygnus X-1 12]

comptetition ??

 

just do it yur self to keep occupied or beat your last time/score

[Luk3us 63]

Hmm.. I thought you mentioned competition somewhere..

 

Odd that...

 

Oh well.

 

They get boring to do after a few weeks... I like crosswords better..

[Cygnus X-1 12]

nope never mentioned competition.

 

I liek crosswords and logic puzzles, but i uttelry hate word searches

[F15pilotX 4]

True dat: word searches suck; crosswords rule :lol:

[Cygnus X-1 12]

indeed they do. they make you think. word searches juts give you headaches

[Luk3us 63]

Word searchs are good for your vision... Keeps your eyes sharp. Well I reckon they do.. My vision owns..

[F15pilotX 4]

I don't care...they still suck :x
