Sudoku anyone?

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#There's only one rule. Fill in the blanks, using only the numbers 1-9 in each line (horizontal and diagonal) and in each square. No repeats in any line or any square. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Apparently it is really good for your brain because it makes you use logic to solve it. It does get easier to do them with practice. Beats playing spider solitaire hehe. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I don't find it easy either, but there are tricks to it. Go to the Wikipedia link on the Sudoku site, and you'll find information on different techniques for solving them. I found that very helpful. Today I solved the 4* difficult one in the weekend Globe&Mail! (pat, pat)#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
