Someone suggested I try this to keep myself occupied, and since I already had a thing about crosswords etc, I decided to give it a try.
Am now hooked.

So who else does Sudoku ?

I do. Great thing to spend some time , though I´ve got trouble to leave it alone after starting some , even if I´ve got something urgent to do , like going to the toilet and stuff :-) .

I'm hooked too. I'm lucky, we have a small, free local paper that offiers 3 sudoku's per day.

I have a few books of them.
We have a cheap bookstore where you get new books for 1/3 price or less.

I'm hooked. I downloaded it to my cell phone, which I now have to recharge three times a day.

I cannot get into Sudoku at all! I don't understand them and cannot do them.

Recently I have been doing crossword puzzles and doing find the word puzzles. They're pretty good and they do stimulate your brain, especially the crossword puzzles.

They are great once you figure out the basics.
You have 9 letters in 9 boxes and you have rows down and across. You have to have the numbers 1-9 in each little box. The numbers 1-9 in each row across and the numbers 1-9 in each row down. No row or box can have the same number more than once.
You are given some numbers to start you off. It is all logic really.

I don't work well with numerical logic.

Actually, there's a different version on the BBC Doctor Who website called, appropriately enough, 'Su-Doc-Who'.

It is more about pattern than anything though as it doesn't involve any maths ability.
You can get them using letters as well.

I do. I found it all but impossible when I first started, but now I'm hooked.
