Sudoku

I have finally sucumbed to the craze and broke down and bought a Sudoku puzzle book, something to keep me occupied on my long commute to work. I must admit, I am addicted. They really are a lot of fun, good for the brain, and keep you thinking. Working on them while listening to my iPod is like Cherry Coke and movie popcorn, they just go together. And they make me happy. Both combinations.

Sudoku, as read by me and regergitated here, is a puzzle that originated in the US in the eighties, was popularized in Japan and named there (su means numbers and doku means single), made it's way around the world to England last year where it reached cult status and finally made it's way back to the US and is quickly making its way into the lexicon of your average Joe.

It's a numbers puzzles that looks kind of like a crossword puzzle. There is no math involved, rather, pure logic. It makes you think, and in my opinion, is a fun and productive way to pass your time when doing mundane things.
