Su Doku

[Treamayne]

Right Ray?

Anyone else mess with these puzzles? I love 'em, foir a few minutes mindless busy work they are great. I saw this for the first time on my trip to San Antonio and decided to pick up a book for the flight home. Well, they were generally too easy so I gave that book away but I picked up a computer Su Doku at gamehouse.com. It Rocks! Here's one of the puzzles, for those that haven't seen it or want to check it out.

I have several books and do the two in the paper at night on my commute home. Very addictive. I also do the NY Times crossword puzzle in the morning then the NY Post crossword puzzle in the afternoon with the Su Duko, so yes to your question!

So addicting. I think I found something to occupy all the free time I have in school.

LOL!!

I actually paid $14.95 for some software that I downloaded on my computer. The software I bought was from sudoko.com

With this software, you can "dub" in the puzzles that are in the newspaper. The ones in the paper are generally pretty easy. The more complicated ones are easier to solve on the computer because you can "pencil in" the possibilities for the specific box. It's a much better way to learn how to become proficient with these.

I've only been playing for a month or so and I enjoy it! :thumbs:

Here's a free Su Doku widget:

btw, Su = number, Doku = single, so in English, the game is just "Single Number" -- sounds a lot less exotic.

Karl, try the "evil" sudoku HERE

These things are indeed horribly addictive. I easily waste half an hour a day doing these. Thanks again Karl! :angry2:

 

[slowhand]

Thanks a lot guys. I just looked a the clock and I have wasted two hours on these.

 

[Treamayne]

So far they've been a bit too easy. A coupe of Fiendish puzzles took a few more minutes (15-20) but nothing I hadn't been able to solve. Now, I'm finding there are a bunch of varients. Try:

Killer

And

Samurai

Printable puzzle here

Ray, checking out that Evil puzzle later today.

Thanks for the other sites Andrew. It sure beats paying for it.
