how did i get sucked in too?!

It finally happened. I didn’t want to be part of this damn Sudoku craze but guess it was inevitable. Brian brought home a book full of them and started getting obsessed which of course peaked my curiosity. The concept is so seemingly simple – I just had to give one puzzle a shot. Then another, and another, until fast forward two days later where I now race Brian for bragging rights and have spent the last four hours at work scribbling out numbers. It truly is addictive.

For those who don’t know exactly what Sudoku is (I didn’t until a few days ago), the puzzle is easy to understand and involves no math skills. Basically, you start with a 9X9 grid and in each row you fill in the numbers 1-9 in any order without repeating any number. In each column do the same. Also in each 3X3 box. Numbers are already printed in some of the boxes and using the given numbers, you can fill each empty box with the correct answer. There is only one solution, and it can be reached using logic. Guessing is not necessary!
