SUDOKU

Introduction

      

Sudoku is not a Japanese game. It was in fact invented by an American by the name of Howard Garns. But that hardly matters. What does matters is the ability to solve Sudoku puzzles. Participants will compete across a series of complex and varied sudoku puzzles, and will have to race against time.
