Finally the bug has infected me. After breakfast, before bedtime, while waiting in the car. Every sunday, eagerly waiting for the papers, am I good enought this time round to accomplished the week's 5*s intrigue in record time. Sudoku.While dad was here recuperating, he would sit for hours solving puzzle after puzzle. I could not comprehend how a scattered numbers of here and there could keep him so engrossed as I Never had an affinity for numbers. I had to find out. It could not be so difficult. If anyone can do it.
And I did. Nothing but only 5*s will do. Not only does the brain gets twisted in every angle, the eyes roving round and round. A determination not to speculate when cornered. Even Charming coral fell into the spell. She sits beside me, scan the puzzle. Just as the elusive number has been put into position, I will pass it to her to tie up the loose ends. She would be totally exhilarated by her accomplishment.

... but after a while, the head will start aching.. probably due to overstraining the eyes, staring at all the numbers in the boxes... *bleah*
my nieces and nephews are so good at this. after explaining it to them like last year, the last we saw a puzzle, they could solve it faster than me!

When that happens, and many atimes too, I admit defeat, shut the book and call a day.

Young minds are more agile!
it's supposed to be addictive, but why am i the only one in the family (also the one with the oldest brain) trying to solve them with religious fervour??
My daughter and I fight over it sometimes to see who gets to do it - we are both addicted to it! I usually let her do the easier ones, or finish off the difficult ones after I have solved most of it - or when I am at a lost, she helps out!

It's said that sudoku keeps the grey matter in tip top condition! That is the reason why my dad is so hooked on it.
