I dunno why but I'm so hooked up on this game. Its so addictive and challenging (at higher levels) but its so rewarding when you solve one...First time I solved one of the most difficult su dokus ever (called sum doku), I felt I was on top of the world...well anyway, I was wondering if I am just a sudoku fanatic like many others (I actually have a suduko electronic pocket game!) or if I was one of a kind here

well, sudoku is a number game....something you can solve by yourself when you're travelling/reading the paper. Its a VERY VERY intresting logic number game which originated in Japan and was ressurected in an american paper. It caught on and spread to the UK, where I found out about it, in the daily mail and the sun. New derivatives of the game are being made every day. They are based on the same principle as SuDoku, but they're made to be much harder.

Here's what a suduko puzzle looks like:

Basically, using the givens, you hae to complete the puzzle such that, in the end, you have in each ot the 9 horizontal rows the numbers from 1 to 9. Also, in each of the 9 vertical columns you should have the numbers from 1 to 9. Also, in each of the highlighted 3X3 squares, you shaould have all numbers from 1 to 9.

Basically, you learn with time to use a certain technique (like elimination) to solve it. You know, for a fact, that you can't have a number repeated twice in a column, row or cell. Using this principle, you can solve it. There's a range of difficulties that varries according to the position, rather than the number, of the givens. Its very rewarding when solved and I strongly recommend it. You don't need tips on how to solve it and neither do you need 'Suduko for dummies' (book). You just need an example and you'll find that anywhere (try Yahoo games).

I find it very easy as long as you dont make a mistake along the way.

Hah, that always blows; you get to the end and you've duplicated something in a row or something. It always makes me really mad.

I'm not too shabby at these puzzles. I found them after my grandma got a puzzle book from my cousin for Christmas. Apparently it's a decent memory-loss deterrent.
