Sudoku

Hi all, its another weekend and after a great weekend I feel as though I should be blogging about everything that went on, my feelings over the events of this past weekend and some changes I have made over the weekend, but I'm not. Just know that I had a pretty good weekend and this week is starting off pretty well so I hope to keep that going. This is going to be a strange post for me as I am going to post about a game I have fallen in love with.

Sudoku. Those of you familiar with the game know that it can be nerve wrecking at times trying to complete the task in front of you, but the joy of completing that task is great! I wanted to print out a copy of the game from my local sunday paper, but all I know how to do on this blog is write. Picture a large box with 81 small boxes within it (a 9x9 box). Within this box, the numbers 1-9 must appear only once in every row, column and 3x3 box. At first glance I thought this was going to be an easy task. How was I mistaken. I wanted to be fast and just throw numbers in random boxes and figure it out that way, yea that clearly didn't work. A hour and a half after starting what I thought was going to be a simple game, I was done. It took every bit of stubbornness within me to figure that puzzle out. I realize that those out there that have above normal intelligence (hi O ) probably will have no problem with this box, but for me, someone of average intelligence at best who had to work hard to achieve good grades in school, this posed a slight challenge. Being a logical thinker and unwilling to stop before I solved the puzzle I got it, but boy did it take everything in me. I challenge you guys to find a Sudoku game online, print it out (you might want to print out more than one copy and have a pencil nearby) and see how easy it is for you. For me, I'm about to find one before sunday.
