I wonder what it is about numbers that puts people off? -- Regards Bob H |

I once did a quiz which was interesting because it gave a string of numbers or initials and you had to figure out the series. So SSMTWT would have F for Friday, next or 31, 28, 31, 30, 31 would have 30 for days in June next. I enjoyed those, found myself waking up in the middle of the night with a solution to the next question :) -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

If you can do a crossword you can do Sudoku, it's easier, you don't have to know anything to do it, it's just logic and reasoning that solves them. The numbers 1 to 9 are simply convenient symbols they have no mathematical significance in this context and could easily be nine different animals or nine different letters or nine different cars...... etc. http://www.sudoku.com/ -- Regards Bob H 17mls W. of London.UK |
