During a very fun meeting had today at SR Towers, the current sudoku 'craze' was discussed. It was work-related, honest.
Strangely, both smv and myself were entirely ignorant as to this phenomenon. We'd absolutely never heard of it, despite being informed that it's absolutely everywhere right now.
Personally, the idea of doing maths puzzles is as appealing to me as gouging out my own eyes, so even if I was aware of it I would have just ignored it, but are smv and I the only ones in the world never to have heard of sudoku?

I saw an advert about a month ago for a programme on Sky One. It featured Carol Vordeman and Sudoku, playing for money etc.
Looks dull and boring.

It's numbers therefore it's maths therefore it's rubbish.

But of course, "garden shed tool" translates as one symbol.

But of course, "garden shed tool" translates as one symbol.
It became popular in Japan because crosswords etc don't work that well over there.
8 across: Cooking device (1 symbol)
8 down: Bird (1 symbol)
9 down: Garden Shed Tool (1 symbol)
8 across: Cooking device (1 symbol)
8 down: Bird (1 symbol)
9 down: Garden Shed Tool (1 symbol)
