NOW IT'S OFFICIALLY POPULAR

My mother has discovered Sudoku, courtesy of the South Bend Tribune. I was introduced to it on someone's website where difficult puzzles were posted - but it didn't say they were difficult. I thought they were beginning level, and eventually, I thought I was a pretty dull knife in the drawer. After awhile, I started to get the hang of the way to think to solve them and then drifted away from Sudoku.

Then my mother calls that she's doing this new puzzle in the paper and tells me what it is. She tells me the numbers that are in the 9 by 9 chart and I think, "Whoa, I don't remember having this many too work with on the other puzzles I've done." I discover there are levels of Sudoku . . . yes, yes, yes. Now I can consider myself Sudoku average, not Sudoku challenged. It's a nice boost for my confidence.

Also, now that my mother, who is 79, is working the puzzles, I can say, Sudoku is officially popular.

If you want to try your hand, here's a Sudoku site I found.
