I, like so many of you, have finally succumbed to Su Doku Fever. This pandemic is the weird-looking numbers game originating from Japan that now appears in newspapers, books, and websites everywhere.
For those few of you who have not yet been exposed to this virus, the game works like this:
You are confronted with a grid of eighty-one squares, with a certain number of squares populated by a number ranging from one to nine. When the puzzle is solved, each row, column, and three-by-three section of the grid will contain the numbers one through nine, with no duplicates. The difficulty of each game varies with the number of numbers you're given to start with, and with the placement of those numbers. It's like Minesweeper with numbers.
That's it. I've wasted God knows how much time on this lousy game already, and I don't show signs of stopping. If you're ready to give it a try yourself, I recommend the following sites:
Web Sudoku
The Times Online

So, you won't read Harry Potter because you think it is too commercialized, too mainstream, whatever, yet you too have hopped on the Su Doku bandwagon. Hmmmmmmm.... Just an observation. That's all.
I still love you BigBro.
Is it not better to say that, rather, the Su Doku bandwagon has hopped on me...?
This is unfortunate that this post is about the stupid numbers game on paper. doesn't someone already have a progrma on the web to solve these issues? I thought this post was about COUNT Dooku.
