my girlfriend is additcted to sudoku.. had a go but not very hard so didn't worry, just simple jigsaw with numbers..similar to perfect mathmatical square. for one of her puzzles i found 3 possible solutions, but i know some can be quite hard

A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

The times has them online if anyone wants to know....

Have played many of the mousebreaker games as work avoidance at uni . . . I don't want to know how much time I spent on them.... it would be far too scary....

The existance of flamethrowers says that someone, somewhere, at sometime said "I need to set that thing on fire, but it's too far away."

O.K. know this is probably boring and no-one cares but has anyone noticed how mathematically clever sudoku is?
and especially the number 9
Got a bit "hippyfied" last night and watched my girlfriend solving a sudoku puzzle and as my mind wandered Irealised;

If you add 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 (all the numbers used in sudoku) you get 45 a multiple of 9
in fact if you add all the numbers up to ANY multiple of 9 i.e
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17+18 = 171
171 = 19 x 9
you get a multiple of 9
if you add the digits of any multiple of 9 you get 9 (or multiple thereof)
171 = 1+7+1 = 9
9 x 24 = 216
2+1+6 = 9
and the 1st 10 multiples of 9 are palendromic i.e.
0 9 18 27 36 45.54 63 72 81 90

Therefore I have come to the conclusion that the answer to life, the universe and everything is NOT 42 it has to be 9
9 is the magic number so....

Now I HAVE to learn to juggle with 9 balls

Dammit why couldn't I have just gone to sleep
My life down the pan.

A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.
