It's an awesome game where you have a grid:
Fill every row, column and 3x3 mini-grd with the numbers from 1 to 9. It's addictive and awesome... and can be very difficult. Try the one above. Make sure you don't have more than one of each number (e.g. two 9's) in a row, column or mini-grid... who can win it first?

I love it, I'm really bad at it, and it drives me nuts. It's kind of like addictive torture.

My husband bought me a book which had a couple of useful tips:

Suppose you have a row (or column, or square) in which you know two of the squares have only either 6 or 9 (for example). Since you know one of those squares must have 6, the other one will have 9, so you can eliminate 6 and 9 from all the squares in the rest of the row (or column, or square). But don't be fooled and think that because you're eliminating all the 6s and 9s from that row, you can also eliminate them from the column...

The same thing if you have three squares in the same row/column/square with 2 or 3 of the same numbers (ex. (3, 7), (3,6,7), (6,7).
