How to Solve Sudoku Without Thinking

Sudoku

Ah, sudoku. The Japanise children’s puzzle that makes western people feel good about their inferior math skills.

Look mom, look dad! I’m doing a numbers puzzle. I must be sooo friken smart to do a number puzzle!

Sigh… What you are really doing is arriving at a logical solution via the process of elimination. There is nothing smart about it. If you change the numbers to colors or fruits you can even train a monkey to solve it for you. I know, because I trained one myself. It was a great monkey! But for some reason, I could not make it stop flinging poo at my neighbors. So at some point I had to release it into the wild. Apparently it later went to college, got an MBA and is now working in marketing. But I digress…

If you don’t believe me (about sudoku, not the monkey), read this guide that shows you how to solve the puzzle without thinking.

    Wait… You solve sudoku BEFORE coffe?

    I think you got it all backwards. Coffee gets your wheels turning, so that you can think and solve sudoku – not the other way around. :mrgreen:

    i said before the coffee kicks in. not before i drink the stuff.

    its an object oriented approach to getting the brain working. =P

    do {
    if (brain.power != full && coffee.cups.drank=5 && caffinee.hi==false)
    sudoku.puzzel = solve;
    coffee.cups.drank++;
    }while(brain.power!=full)

    For me this looks more like:

    while(Luke.isAwake() && !Luke.brain.isWorking())
    {
    if(!Luke.hasCoffeCup())
    Luke.pickUp(kitchen.getCoffeCup());
    Luke.getCoffeCup().setContents = kitchen.getHotCoffe();
    Luke.drinkFromCup();
    Luke.putDownCoffeCup();
    }

    Hi, people! I have some interesting facts for you :) Anyone know that sudoku was created by an architect? The modern Sudoku was designed anonymously by Howard Garns, a 74-year-old retired architect and freelance puzzle constructor, and first published in 1979. One more: I heard that my favorite game – the popular puzzle game of Sudoku is brought to the next generation of consoles. Go! Suduko 2 has evolved from the original game to provide a variety of new features and game modes. :)

    Thanks, Kevin
