Anyone doing Sudoku?

Curious.
I just started doing them (computer), trying this one and that one. Haven't figured out how to pronounce it yet. Some are easy some are supposed to be easy but are downright hard.

Nope. But can you do Ikebana?

Yeah, I do them occasionaly - good fun until you make a mistake, then the backtracking is an effing nightmare

My Dad does them every day, along with the crossword from the Daily Telegraph, he says it's to keep his brain active and ward off senility (he's 75).

Now that's just unnatural.

I do neither. Like crossword puzzles, I consider them to be a waste of time.

I love it, although I haven't done one in a long time (I solved one every day when on vacation in Trondheim, but can't be bothered now that I've got so much else to do). I know I should do one every day, but I can't get around to it.

I also can't solve them on computer screens, so I have to have a sheet of paper to copy them to.

Heh, they were a craze in Norway last summer

Sudoko, alternatively and probably more correctly spelled "Su Doku", is a puzzle game in which you have a grid which needs to be filled with numbers so that every row, coloumn and 3x3 box features the numbers one through nine. The difficulty of the game depends on how many fields are already filled in, and how they're filled in.

Had to google Ikebana. I think I'll pass.
Err,umm, how do you know what Ikebana is?

XabbaRus · 01-13-07, 06:23 PM

I am just wrong

I don't know how... both...
Ikebana looks hard to learn.

By the wiki Sudoku means coming from
The name "Sudoku" is the Japanese abbreviation of a longer phrase, "suji wa dokushin ni kagiru" ), meaning "the digits must occur only once"

One trivia.....

Dokushin means single man (woman) in Japanese.
