Sudoku

I love games like this. Logic puzzles, challenging yet still possible. Let me introduce you to my new friend Sudoku.

Sudoku (Japanese for 'single number'), as explained on Wikipedia.org, is much like a cross-word puzzle only using numbers. While there is no actual math involve, the puzzles involve logic and a process of fitting the appropriate numbers into only acceptable location of the grid.

According to one web-site, there are approximately 6,670,903,752,021,072,936,960 different puzzle combonations. That's 6 sextillion! Enough to do about infinity each day and never run out!

USA Today's puzzle of the day is a fun place to start your day off, get the brain going, and play along. You can even track how long it takes you to complete each puzzle.
