Sudoku

Sudoku.... "the single numbers"
While the relationship between the numbers is irrelevant and there're no means of arithmetical solution, Sudoku has captured many of modern minds.

I have read in a news report that they found jurors playing Sudoku during trials in Australia and that incident costed the court and of course the tax payers thousands of dollars. First, they didn't know, but the jurors were taking notes vertically and they became suspicious about it.

....Sudoku is great... Sudoku is fun... Sudoku yields concentration... (is that right?)

I found Sudoku more than two years ago from a Takatsuki's weekend paper in Osaka. As usual, I was browsing the weekly ads and the numbers in grids intrigued me.

Personally, in the time of having mood swings, which I believe I have often, I need Sudoku the most. Althought I don't aim at finishing the puzzle as soon as I can, I'd try to fill the empty blocks without making mistakes.


...I love being in my own space and own pace, that's how Sudoku satisfies me..
Perhaps, I am a loner...

who am I to blame? Nikoli?
