From time to time some puzzles
become so popular that they can drive the whole World to
crazy. Rubik's Cube or Loyd's 14-15 Puzzle are two of the most
famous samples of such puzzles.
Nowadays we have another puzzle phenomenon which
conquered the whole World; its name is Sudoku. For a
couple of past years a lot of different variations of
the classic 9x9 Sudoku were invented and popularized.
Many of them you can see in the
Sudoku Variations article by
Ed Pegg Jr. Below I'd like to show several new
Sudoku variations. |
