I love Sudoku! I am waiting for tomorrow's weekly sudoku. It comes in a newspaper I buy on Sundays (g)

I did four today, on my commute (on buses) to and from work. I'm not sure if that says more about my l337 Sudoku skillz or the fact that the commute is too long.

I've tried it, and just didn't ...connect. Give Tetris. Magic Inlay. Zuma. Chuzzle. Yeah, any of those.

I usually use Simon's vversion.

I dislike sudoku because they are a good example of the category of problems at which I should be good but am not.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Do you have an indifference option?

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

I know the feeling though not about soduku specifically.

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

I'd have classed it under "I don't know. Give me a cookie." or "I don't know, give me a tickybox." - depending on if you prefer cookies or tickyboxes!

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. *thinks* Can I have the cookie?

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

I think unless you have a 1.5 hour commute to work, then it's at least in part a positive reflection of your Sudoku skills! :)

Both "sometimes" and "bad" because it's in the category of things which shouldn't detract from human interactions but do.

Although I'm very much in favour of breaking up Sudoku grids to solve the tickybox shortage. That sounds like an excellent idea!

I'm the dumbass who doesn't know what this is. All I know is that my mom gave it to my dad for Christmas, and dad was like, "I said that the guys at work do it! I don't like it!" So whatever it is, MY DAD DOES NOT LIKE IT.

I don't need a cookie because my mom is making some right now. :3 Also, a tickybox is not a tangible object, so my possession of it would mean nothing. Sort of like my ownership of a webpage. Oh snap! & DIGRESSION!

It's sort of like a logic problem with numbers. You have a 9x9 grid divided into little 3x3 squares, and you fill in digits from 1-9 so that each digit only appears once in each row, column or marked 3x3 box. It can be really easy or really hard depending on what numbers they give you to start out with!! There's a sort of knack to it though, and until you've found the knack I suspect they're mostly just frustrating!

Awesome that your mum is baking you cookies! Yay cookies! :D

It's about 30 minutes each way, not including the actual walking parts and standing at bus-stops, when I do actualy put the sudoku book down... *grin*

[larianelensar.livejournal.com]

Maybe that's why I don't like them. Between my engineering bent and my anal number-ish OCD, they just don't challenge me. I can't see the attraction. *hee*

[jalbobble.livejournal.com]

My real answer is 'yay!' but the other options were so cool that I decided to tick them as well :).

I'm so pleased you're happy nad squeeful again. Interesting that folks are more interested in Sudoku than you're current state of happpiness. Shallow or what?

p.s Sudoku is a waste of life

[rochvelleth.livejournal.com]

Sudoku eats time. It is therefore evil. I'm pretty good at it, so I sometimes find myself doing it. But it's a ridiculous waste of time. It doesn't even tell me which knight has which squire and which tent and which horse[1].

[1] Ah, logic puzzles...

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

I think the state of me being happy is considered default, so a return to default is not a remarkable event. *grins*

I like Sudoku...I find it tips me maybe 5% closer to doing some more work... :)
