"Remember son, numbers add up to nothin"[1], my granpappy would tell me in his Tennessee drawl, which always sounded strange, coming from Sheffield as he did... Anyhoo, the roundabout point of this post is to draw your attention to Sudoku and its home on ElectronicsWeekly.com:
www.electronicsweekly.com/sudoku
I've revealed my own prejudices by previously waxing lyrical about Dilbert but ignoring its Circuit Break companion, Sudoku - the charm or challenge of number-adding eludes me. There are those, however, who are partial and I have to say more people visit Sudoku than Dilbert on ElectronicsWeekly.com! It's a strange world, but it'd be boring if we were all alike...
If by chance you are new to this game, the instructions can be found below the square.

hmmm.... when I clicked on the Sudoku puzzle, I had vague hopes that I'd see something unique, like a puzzle that used the resistor color code instead of digits in the boxes. Might be tough, given the color variations from computer monitor to monitor, but would certainly be a novel challenge. ;-)

Wow, Steve. That would be tough. Kinda makes it three-dimensional problem somehow (having to remember, first, what the colours represent). Of course, if anyone out there could build such a Java applet, we would run it!
