#17 Sudoku

Sudoku, the puzzle craze that has taken over the world. I kept hearing this word for the past year or so and never paid much attention to what it was. But then it became unavoidable, books, ads, even celebrities were mentioning the game. If you're living in a cave like I was, it's a Japanese logic game in which the objective is to fill a 9 x 9 grid so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3 x 3 boxes contains the digits from 1 to 9, only one time each. The grid is partially completed before you start. So today, I completed my first Sudoku puzzle. It took me forty minutes to solve this puzzle, I have no idea if that's good. I can see how these can be addicting.
