Mobile Sudoku, once more

There's one more mobile Sudoku thingamagick that I hadn't picked up on.

Here it is -- Pocket Sudoku, for Pocket PC handhelds.

Emil Andersson: Things are going well for Pocket Sudoku:

"Pocket Sudoku, the project I started back in October last year, has had a huge up-turn lately.
With some hundred downloads each day, users contributing with ideas, posting bug reports and translating the application into their language and a new release just some day(s) or week(s) after the previous one, things are going quite well!"

Good for you then, sir. :)

Oh, I forgot to mention it's free, and open source. Get it here.

Ouch - This Is Going To Hurt


It was only a matter of time before somebody whips up a 3D Rubik's Cube like thingie, so here it is folks...

I4U News - Kill Your Brain with the 3D Sudoku Cube:
"The Sudoku craze is still going wild. Now there is a rubik cube sudoku combination on the market called the 3D Sudoku Cube.

It is a Rubik cube of 3x3x3 cubes, and each face of 3x3 squares is a Sudoku itself. The aim of the game is to rearrange a scrambled cube so that each face shows digits 1 to 9. "

Sudoku Can Restore Memory?

Some food for thought here today:

The Ithaca Journal:
"When Kimberly McClain noticed herself struggling to remember simple details, even what her family had for dinner the night before, she got worried.

She worried because of a family history of dementia and a fellow church member's recent diagnosis, at 54, of early onset Alzheimer's disease.

Mostly, she worried because she was only 43.

“Our brains age just the way our bodies age, but there's a lot that we can do to fight against it and keep ourselves mentally fit,” says Small, author of “The Memory Bible” (Hyperion, 2002) and “The Memory Prescription” (Hyperion, 2004)."

She now begins each day with stretching and breathing exercises, making an effort not to “get up and immediately jump into my kids' world.”

She takes daily walks, does yoga twice a week, keeps healthy snacks in her car and office, and makes Sudoku, the popular numbers puzzle, her daily brainteaser. She credits the routine with restoring her memory."

There you have it. Remember, it's not just a game. It's good for you. Really.

Sudoku - the sub culture

Someone gets a rude awakening; yes Sudoku can be super addictive and drive people crazy!

cut above the rest: sudoku:
"Yet another shock was awaiting me at the sudoku site. It is a full-fledged endeavour for many rather than just a pastime. It gives me the feel of being a Religion or atleast -- almost. With forums, suggestions groups, feedback counters and what-not.

And all this over just a puzzle---- Mind-boggling----- Maaaan."

Yah mon. That's the way the ball bounces.
