Murrin is right, sudoku has very little to do with numbers. Just place holders.
They do them in elemntary schools with symbols

This is good practice for me. The Sudoku puzzle on the Washington Post website lets you mark each square with the numbers that *could* go there (Sudoku crib notes!). I do basically the same thing with the pencil-and-paper versions: put in the possibilities in teeny print. Then came the day when I was feeling pretty good about my ability to do these bloody puzzles, and Younger Daughter (who does them with a *pen*) said, "Now try doing it without the little numbers." Arrgh. So this is good -- there's no way to put in the crib notes...

I'm stuck on number 8. It's killing me. Really, truly, and frustratingly stuck. I may just throw in the towel...

Fun. The easy level is really easy, but it loads really slowly on dial-up, so I'm not likely to make a habit of it. 
I'll stick to my Snoodoku.
Well, actually, I'm playing this version, since I have a Mac.

I usually play at Web Sudoku. It's easy to manipulate, and it's got a timer. Also a pause button, apparently. Gonna need that one.

I hate the timer at Web Sudoku. It shows how lame I am compared with other players. "You finished this puzzle in 5:37 -- the average is 3:29!"

Today I found out that if you stop playing a game in the middle, close the browser, and come back a day or two later, the half-played game is saved and you can continue playing from wherever you left off.

Praise Jebus for that - my browser's been spontaneously closing of late, and I was going nuts trying to do them before I get the inevitable crash.MsMaryMalone wrote:Today I found out that if you stop playing a game in the middle, close the browser, and come back a day or two later, the half-played game is saved and you can continue playing from wherever you left off.
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
Endut!
Hoch Hech!
