Welcome to the world of Sudoku, the biggest craze since Rubik’s cube. This game looks easy but requires intense concentration, is highly addictive and can be agonizingly frustrating. The deceptive prospect of success will never allow you to give up!!!
Sudoku (a.k.a. "Number Single") is a number placement puzzle with an illustrious history behind it. Though the name is Japanese, it has its roots in the "Magic Squares", a game devised by the blind mathematician Leonhard Euler, a native of Basle, in Switzerland in the year 1783. A Japanese publisher of puzzle books created the game in its current form two decades ago. It is also popularly known as Number Place in America. This perhaps explains its global appeal & instant success across continents. It is a current rage in Europe & Asia, featuring in some of the most popular dailies posing the first real threat to the monopoly enjoyed by crossword puzzles in the print media.
It is a highly addictive brain-teasing puzzle that can be solved by lateral thinking alone. It conceals mistakes admirably until late on in the game, by which time masochistic instinct prevails and players soldier on. Take heart, this game rewards even those who do not consider themselves natural logicians. There is no mathematics, players just need to think logically and follow instincts.
You are invited to embark on a solitary yet inclusive pursuit & tickle your gray cells!!!
