Omake #133, Sudoku!
That was really fun, Joe. ^_^
I printed it and made a couple of copies to cut out the characters to move as game pieces.
I messed up several times (Argh! There can't be two Kyles in this row! And now there are two Maras. -_-; ), but I think I figured it out. I r a nerd.
Did you make it yourself, use a generator, or replace the numbers in an existing Sudoku?

Re: Omake #133, Sudoku!
I replaced numbers in an existing Sudoku.
I got a Sudoku program for my PSP and played it like crazy, it's fun.
I was gonna put little icons for the other chars to do a cutout on the side, but I forgot.
I didn't try to play it myself, but was it any more or less difficult playing it with pictures than numbers?

Re: Omake #133, Sudoku!
Actually, this was the first time I played a Sudoku puzzle. I remember doing math exercises way back when, but they didn't have nearly such large grids. And they weren't called Sudoku.
So I don't have anything to compare this to. I liked it fine with characters, but the downside is that unless we know how to cartoon, we can't play using just a pen like a regular numbered Sudoku.
Magnetic game pieces would be fun. They could be moved around to make new puzzles.

Re: Omake #133, Sudoku!
Yeah... or if I knew how to make a flash version to place the characters on the screen. I'm not that good yet. ^_-
Sudoku isn't REALLY math though... more just patterns. You could use letters or whatever.
What kind of math puzzles? There's that other number/math puzzle kinda popular now... I forgot what it's called. It looks like a math crossword.

Re: Omake #133, Sudoku!
You're right; it's not really math the way it's set up. You couldn't use characters in the place of numbers if it did require adding or subtracting.
I remember doing puzzles where we'd be given a set of numbers to arrange in a grid, and we could only use each number once, and all rows & columns had to have the same sum. That did take some math-iness to do.

Those I hated. I like Sudoku cuz I can visualize it, those math problems I couldn't.
