As with the familiar crossword puzzle and other board games, do you like or play Sudoku? The objective is to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 sub-grids that compose the grid (also called "boxes", "blocks", "regions", or "sub-squares") contains all of the digits from 1 to 9. The puzzle setter provides a partially completed grid, which typically has a unique solution. As you can see, it is a numbers game vs. the traditional word game.
The puzzle was popularized in 1986 by the Japanese puzzle company Nikoli, under the name Sudoku, meaning single number. It became an international hit in 2005. It is found in most weekly newspapers and some magazines. Do you feel it is a challenge or boring?
