Sudoku Puzzles

Post by rtb » Tue Feb 21, 2006 5:06 pm

Has anyone joined the latest puzzle craze? I have been hearing about these for a while and figured I better check them out so I did last night. They are very challenging and I can see how they would be addicting. I don't think I will be joining the craze, but it is a good mental exercise once in a while.

All I have to say to you is, "RUN!" :wink: It is a sickness of the worst kind and I'm convinced there are some kind of subliminal messages tucked in those puzzles. I can spend hours working on them, easy, medium, hard and evil - I can't help myself!

I love them, course I love any sort of logic puzzle like that so pretty much a no brainer that I would like these.

Most who already do these probably already know about this site but for free online puzzles I suggest http://www.websudoku.com Nice interface with the ability to put multiple numbers in a single box and choose your level, as well as compare your times with the average times of all puzzles solved of that level.

I have a hard time stopping Spider Solitare once I start, I don't think I need a new adiction!

My addiction is dominos on yahoo... It sure helps to kill that last half hour before the end of a long work day.

So I am now hooked! They are a great challenge and fun to work through! I should have listened and ran, but I didn't!

I do the weekly puzzle in the Exponent. I feel like I'll end up buying a book soon and doing more Sudoku puzzles. It's fun, it's a good mind workout, and it's most assuredly addicting.
