More Addictive than I Could Possibly Imagine

This weekend, a "friend" started me out on what has proven to be a new habit that I don't think I will be able to kick.

From what I have heard about meth, it doesn't even begin to touch the addictiveness of this vice. Without even a first cough, I find myself on a multi-grid a day habit.

My new addiction? Sudoku.

Have you heard of it? 91 little squares in a nine by nine grid. Using logic, patience and persistence you fill out the empty squares. The goal is to fill in the empty cells, one number in each, so that each column, row, and region contains the numbers 1–9 exactly once.

When I am not playing, I am thinking about the last unfinished puzzle.

Anyway, there is a link to a good site in my blogroll, over to the left.

I .... Can't .... Stop.

Oh, no. No, no, no. Any game or "puzzle" that involves THAT many numbers in such close proximity is just EVIL!

I thought 9 x 9 was 81?

I was there, but it wears off. Do the ones on line for a week and then...zzzzzzz....

Obviously, there is a reason that my wife is the accountant, and that I stayed far away from the math courses.
