I've just discovered the analytic Suduko puzzles a few days ago and it has become the perfect mind game to relax too. Have you ever tried them? Tell me what you think about Suduko.

Did you realise Sudoku, in spite of its name, didn't start in Japan? It was invented by an American and was called 'Number Place', made its way to Japan eventually, where it got its current name and became immensely popular (the Japanese language doesn't allow its speakers to do crosswords, nor does Chinese), and then suddenly took off worldwide in 2005, after a retired New Zealand judge created a computer program to make it easy to generate the puzzle.

Its the new trend in my country too. But still i did not have a chance to do one, even though I love puzzles. I must start from a beginners one soon. So you think its relaxing huh? I have heard that its a puzzle with a lot of logic.

yea i discovered sudoku last year and i started doing them and now i'm at a pretty high level, i have even managed to make one myself, which is pretty hard to make it all right. I always solve a sudoku while i'm studying to have a litle break.

My husband and kids can't get into it...to hard they say. For me...its actually relaxing and as you put so well....gives me a little break from the daily stresses.

I've been doing Sudoku for over a year, and still enjoy it. Not quite so addicted to it as I was at first, but I'm certainly better at it, now. Biggest trouble I have with it is spelling it properly...as I suspect you do too!

I noticed my misspelling as I submitted the discussion and for some reason my edit function on myLot isn't working right. I'm addicted that's for sure. :)

me too. I finally went out and bought me a book of them. What level are you? After 2 days, I'm now doing the Fiendish and Challenging ones. To my amazement, they numbers are correct.

I have a Sudoku puzzle book and they rate some of the puzzles harder than others but I've found that they're all the same. They all have the same exact technique to figuring them out and it's not really challenging to me, it's more like a cancellation process of numbers! I don't understand how one doesn't get tired of doing the same thing over and over again! I liked it at first before I figured out the trick! I guess it's just relaxing but once you've figured out how to solve them then they're all the same. I dunno...maybe it's just me!

I do have to agree with you. I've finally learned the method of figuring them out without really figuring them out. :) It's now like doing a word search or something like that...just fills the time.

You know, I used to like it. But, I've gotten so busy that I don't have time to do them any more.

I've done some sudoku, but really I prefer kakuro. They're kinda like sudoku but with a hint of math thrown in. www.kakuro.com has a free daily puzzle if anyone wants to give it a try.

I have tried playing Suduko and it nearly drove me mad. I bought the books and an electronic game and I even tried playing on the computer. Whenever I thought I had the solution, I would notice that some of my numbers were wrong. I think I will stick with scrabble. It's much easier.

It is very interesting and addictive too (more than mylot). It is a magic with numbers 1-9. Hats off to the inventor. Is there any site that we can play suduko online.

I have to agree with you about that. I just saw an add for zango.com, but haven't tried it out yet. I like to print-out the puzzles and work it on the go and I've found a website that's free. http://www.sudoku-printable.com and another one is http://www.sudukotoday.com/easy-sudoku-puzzles.html
