Skippy Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I have a sickness. I am into my sudoku pretty deep. So deep that we are now putting money on our Sudoku skills. It is a five spot everyday and there are anywhere between six and ten of us that go at it. I won twice last week but overall I am way ahead. It's been about two months that we have been putting some money down. It started with just two of us and really it's always a 50/50 shot with this guy. So, anyone else have this sickness? Is it costing the company any time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Sudoku is awesome and I'm hooked as well. I do puzzle after puzzle and when I get bored of that I flip to the back of the book and do one of the insanely hard ones for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

untateve Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I was into it for awhile. However, between my son and the (momentary joy) of the chess debacle, what spare time I've had has gone into studying chess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 What is this Kakuro you speak of? Kakuro is sort like a number crossword puzzle. The board is set up like a crossword and the "clues" are numbers either to left of a row or above a column of squares. The number in that column or row have to add up to the "clue" but you can only use 1-9 and can't use the same number twice in a single answer. For instance. If the number 6 proceeds a set of 3 squares, the answer has to be 1, 2, and 3 in some order. Basically there are some combination of clues and number of squares that have only one or at least very few options. You tend to do those first and then build out from there. The 6 example is one. 24 proceeding 3 squares is on the other end of the spectrum 'cause it has to be 7,8,9. Those are the easy ones, as there will also be ones with more squares and number clues that have a ton of possibilities. kakuro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I've got it on my new Blackberry, but, have never played it. I'm afraid to start, as I have an addictive personality...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
