Sudoku first appeared in a US puzzle magazine in the late 1970s, but was then picked up by Japanese publisher Nikoli in 1984 who dubbed it Su Doku and the puzzle-hungry Japanese loved it. From there it was discovered by The Times and the rest is history. Sudoku is the addictive number puzzle that has taken Europe by storm and is now taking over the rest of the world. It is branded by many as "the hottest puzzle since the Rubiks Cube".

Sudoku Rules are easy. Just fill in the grid so that every row, every column, and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1 through 9. " Remember that the digits can appear only once in every row or column.
