RumPuncher Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 so I read in a newspaper yesterday that British Airways are banning this game called 'sudoku' from flights because the stewarts were playing it obsessively. That caught my interest.... then I flip back a few pages.... and there's one of the little games. < let the all consuming addiction begin > Let's just say that I had no idea about how to solve one of these addictive little fuckers, so I spent something like 2 hours scribbling numbers down. When I finally solved it... I danced around my house, touchdown style! http://www.sudoku.com/ - here's all the info you need on how to play. here's the deal: each box of 9 squares contains the numbers 1-9, but only once. each row and colum has the numbers 1-9, but again, only once. ^ solution to the above puzzle I've decided that I will master this little game, and flex the grey matter. and it would be a great icebreaker with her. You know that's what it all comes down to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Dazzle Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Oh man I love these! I ALWAYS get one box left and realize that one row just absolutely fucks everything I've done for the last hour. Then I scream and throw things.... They have actually been a helpful bonding tool with my girlfriend's dad and myself.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Ape Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 i started getting into that stuf but idk i just kind of got tired of sitting home doing that......its highly addicting though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 A couple of weeks ago this completely took over our department and absolutley NOTHING got done for like 3 days. We decided to cut it cold turkey... and now it's popping up in the newspaper. It's the very first thing I do when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsuifuku Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I started seeing books at my work about it, and i thought it looked stupid, so i check out this thread on 12oz and i download a computer version of it. i must say this is keeping me from doing my homework. damnit.

La Cosa Nostra Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 ooooooooooooo. Someone was working one one of these, and I-apparently breaking great concentration- asked what it was and received a mumbled (I guess this is what was said.)"Sudoku." And now I know waht it is. Another mystery solved with the help of 12oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weapon X Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I did one of these in like seven minutes...then i tried another one a few days later and couldn't do it. so fuck this game and fuck beginner's luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumPuncher Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 it's not beginners luck. some can be beat with a simple strategy, but others need totally abstract thinking skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChupacabra Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 i downloaded a sudoku widget ages ago and finally tried it yesterday. i gave up when i realized if i started getting into it, i would just end up getting really really pissed off when i couldn't figure it out.

John Birch Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I was reading a newspaper online last night and came across a online sudoka game. Well after reading about it here on 12oz, I gave it a try... What a fuckin bore...I spent like 15 minutes and got way bored..especially when I had to go back and start changing numbers. What a waste of fuckin time. No wonder us americans have such low productivity. I'd rather stare at the wall trying to think about nothing...
