While sudoku improves one thinking ability, I don't think it does help in improving memory. In fact, I believe cards and mahjong does help because the game require you to memorise the cards/tiles. However some view it as gambling and thus a vice.

Yes I believe that it is a min boggling exercise since you have to make up strategies to solve it. I love playing it before but I got bored easily especially when it comes to higher level, its getting more difficult which is tiresome.
