Anyone here like Su Doku??

needmoremeat · 30 May 2005, 21:49

I've became addicted recently, and somehow, by some strange miracle, I managed the big one in the Times where five overlap each other!!

It nearly killed me, but I did it!! The number of times I nearly had a heart attack when I messed it up........................

Too many to count, it can't be good for me!

Hey, this is my 300th post!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Double celebrations tonight!!!!!!!

Confession Time!!!

Addicted to them!!!

The monday one in The Times is rated as easy and I can generally crack that in under 4minutes 30seconds!!!

If you really want a challenge, try the Saturday telegraph, they now do a 3D version which does present a challenge! I will see if I have one I can post!

Congrats on your 300 post needmoremeat!

This is Su Doku

You have to put numbers 1 to 9 in every box row and column, but the same number can't be in the same box row or column twice. This is a hard one that I've posted

Chris · 31 May 2005, 14:57

Solved it.

15 minutes 13 seconds!!

Tim · 31 May 2005, 18:18

Ah okay.. thanks. looks euh... strange haha

Chris · 31 May 2005, 20:42

Random fact for you.

They were invented in japan where the structure of the japanese language makes crosswords impossible to construct in Japanese.

You will find normally that people who can solve SuDoku perform poorly at standard crosswords and vice versa.

needmoremeat · 31 May 2005, 21:01

Answer to life, the universe and everything, but what's it to do with Su Doku? I'm a bit slow!

Cathie · 31 May 2005, 23:46
