Palm Pilot Sudoku?

I've recently been trying Palm Pilot Soduku and although it's clearly a useful little tool, I'm just not really struck by them. Now maybe I'm just being old fashioned but I'd rather go the paper and pencil route to Sudoku solving.

Welsh related Sudoku News

This is not exactly up to date Sudoku news, as it happened last year. However I have only just read about it so thought I'd include it in my blog.

Anyway, an 18-year-old student from Wales was crowned Britain's Sudoku champion in October 2005.

The Welsh student, Nina Pell, from Monmouth, solved a very very diffiult puzzle just 13 minutes and 48 seconds. Very impressive I'm sure you'll all agree...

Killer Sudoku

If you're getting a little bored with standard Sudoku why not give Killer Sudoku a go.

It's a more difficult version of Sudoku. It's the same as Sudoku in that the boxes must be filled in with all the numbers 1 to 9. But instead of seeing some starter clues where some cells are completed for you, in killer sudoku areas of the grid are "caged". Each cage contains a single number which is the sum of all the solutions in that shape. You have to use this information to work out what the numbers go in each box.
