Sudoku

If you've become slightly senile like me [MS says "slightly??"], and would like to slow down your brain regression, some mental exercises may help .

Enter sudoku, the placement puzzle testing patience and logical ability.

A good site to play Sudoku could be found here: Link

You can:
  • play for free, or
  • create an account to compete with other players
  • track your achievements and progression

update
I was playing sudoku on the site when MS asked me to make milk for Amar as our 1 year old was crying. I immediately microwaved 6 oz of fresh milk and sent it upstairs.

Amar drinks Cow & Gate powdered milk.

Either this Sudoku doesn't work or I need to do loooads more!

The guys is my plant are sudoko mad.I think it is good that they keep their minds occupied.

I tried some myself.. okay.. hehehe lost about an hour.

Any way, I have a link to a TV series called Saladin on our blog. The show is made by malaysians and it is worth checking out.

Regards

actually last night was the first ever time i've played sudoku. ive heard of it for ages.

i feel as i'm getting very absent minded i should do more brain exercises hence the recent post on ADT, and sudoku.

any more tips to strengthen brain power are welcome!

ps
hmm i'm just going to have another go.

challengers welcome!!

I'm sudoku addict (only when the bos is not watching..), but could never finish a game... cepat boring.

mynn said...

what you need dyanna is patience and concentration

i'm also starting to become a sudoku addict! but some of the puzzles are really difficult (mental note: start on easy). i think i'll try to devote 30mins a day solving sudoku.

sudoku to me is like finding and sorting bugs in a computer program, what do you guys think?

do you guys know that most mat saleh do not know how to sebut sudoku? Carol vorderman wrote a book on sudoku and even taught how to pronounce it properly.

auntie de, perasan tak i dah tak nag on mynn to study lagi? it's either i dah give up. or i cuma mampu berdoa. or sending some sort of telepathic messages, but somehow tak sampai2. or like your mum said - 'ala dia tahulah apa yang dia buat'

back to sudoku; i know i can be an addict. definitely. tp kind of resisting myself. bnyk sangat agenda lately ni lah.

and to diana; don't we all do that diana -bila boss tak tengok aiseyman diana. dulu2, org dok main solitaire.

i bet sekarang org dah tulis blog while boss is away. apa nk jadi ni?

mama sarah,
apart from reading his book to him word by word, i dont think u can sedapkan hati u yang dia study, right? well, im sure he knows what he's doing, and what he needs to do for the exam. maybe he is at the moment going through his intricately by-the-minute planned revision timetable, which may also incorporate activities that he loves doing in between study sessions. he might surprise u ;)

Mama Pongkey said...

Heh. I did sudoku several months back but gave it up as it took too much time and was too addictive.

There's a new puzzle in town: Kakuro-san. Similar but a bit more complicated.

mynn said...

kakuro-san yang ada a-b-c jugak tu ke?

man, i'm trying not to think of sudoku too much, karang ...
