Did anyone watch Sky 1's Sudoku challenge just now?

I'm an addict. I've been doing it for about five weeks.

Didn't watch it because I've just finished yet more "sorting out". (Eventually we'll be tidy and straight here but it seems to be taking forever.) I didn't know there was such a program. It's one of those things I find fascinating and challenging to do but can't imagine watching someone else do it as a form of entertainment.

No, it was a little bit like watching paint dry. Especially after I'd filled all my square in and they were still dragging it out. There was chance to win £9,000 though so I decided to stick with it.

That sounds like good enough incentive.

If you're interested try this website I've just found

Hmm I have heard of this before, though haven't the faintest idea how you do it.

You have a grid of 9 squares by 9 squares and each number 1-9 has got to appear once in every line down and across. Also the main grid is divided into 9 smaller grids of 3 squares by 3 squares and each number 1-9 has got to appear only once in each of them. Some numbers are already filled in for you and it all depends how many are filled in as to how hard the puzzle is. Try it and you'll get addicted.

they should try and find a link to a game and get it on the arcade!

It would have to be a timed game - fastest one gets the highest score. I'd have a go!

Oh I do these in the independant... they're fun to do in physics!

I have been trying to do them for weeks..........I must be a numpty because it isn't often that I get them right.......and my Eraser on the end of my pencil is almost down to the metal.

WillowTheWhisp · 02-07-2005, 20:45

I hate it when you think you've almost done it and then see the same number twice in one row!

Margaret Pilkington · 02-07-2005, 21:09

I'm glad it doesn't happen to just me then Willow.......how frustrating is that........and the more i rub out.... the more confused I get.
