sudoku

Sudoku is a Japanese game that has recently taken America by storm. Although this game comes in a variety of formats, the most common consists of a huge square made up of 81 small boxes that are partitioned into 3x3 boxes containing nine small boxes in each. The goal of the puzzle is to fill each individual box with a number from 1-9 so that each number is not repeated straight across, down, or in each partitioned box of nine smaller squares. The game is simple but addicting. I am evidence of this because I do Sudoku constantly. I fill the squares in while watching television, while in lecture or while I'm just bored and have nothing else to do. In addition, the prevelence of Sudoku in our culture only exacerbates my situation. Sudoku is everywhere; there are sudoku websites online, sudoku is found in our own college newspaper (U Weekly and The Lantern), Mac's even come equipped with Sudoku as one of their games. Sudoku serves as the crossword puzzle of our generation and the puzzle we can't seem to quit. With this said, I'd like to apologize for posting this link that will inevitably aid in procrastination and break even the most diligent student's resolve to study: online sudoku
