Sudoku, did one

I finished my first Sudoku puzzle last night. I had sort of started a couple in the past but could only find maybe a minute at a time to work on them and just didn't get back to them more than a couple of times. This one was much the same except that I went back to it several times. Making progress on one can be hard when you only work on it for a couple of minutes or so and then don't get back to it till the next day. But if you can put in three or four minutes at a time, then you can make progress and learn some of the logic or tricks or whatever that help in getting one done. I did get it completely right. Now I will just have to see if I am willing to make the time on another one in the future or if I will get bored with it before getting much done on it and just forget about it.

Everybody around me was already doing the Sudoku puzzle except for me and one of my daughters. It was a complete mystery to me how to do it (for some reason there is a lack of explaning if you just want to start with it). Anyway an other daughter explained it to me so we practised a bit 2 years ago (we is including the youngest one now 9 and 7 years old). We only take Sudoku with us if we go on holidays, just in case of need, to kill some time or to set our mind of. So we can't say we are addicted or bored.

They probably have it online but I don't play any online games. The Sudoku I did was in the paper which I only get once a week. Since it involves numbers, not math really, I was a little attracted to it because I'm a numbers or math type person.

Suduco was all the craze one year when I went home to visit! I did a couple but had to stick with "easy"! That's a good idea to do a little at a time ! I think I'll try that

The problem with a little at a time, in my case usually only a few minutes, is that you almost have to start all over again when you come back to it a day or two later.

I found it a lot easier when I got a little more into it even if I could only work on it a few minutes at a time. You just have to be logical and look for patterns and how the different squares and columns and rows affect each other.

Hi, I can not solve Sudoku. Because it needs patience. We have to try it again and again. My father solve it easily because he used to solve it daily and now he can solve Sudoku easily. He is 92 years old but he has patience. You have solved one Sudoku patiently. Now you can solve another easily.
