Even though I am better at putting together words than I am at anything to do with numbers, I even occasionally take a stab at completing the Sudoku. If you're not familiar with the puzzle, the goal is to fill a 9x9 grid with the numbers 1-9, ensuring each number appears only once in every row, column, and 3x3 box. The Monday puzzle has a difficulty of one star, but I usually only get halfway before my faulty logic trips me up.
Today, for the first time in history I actually completed an entire puzzle!

I'm just the opposite. Sudoku is easy compared to crosswords. If I had to complete a crossword to get out of jail, I'd be in there for life.
ReplyDeleteIn my experience most people are either math- or language-brained.
DeleteCongrats! I love crosswords but have never really warmed to Sudoku.
ReplyDeleteI can't see me doing it on a regular basis.

ReplyDeleteNeato. I didn't know what Sudoku was. Just heard the name.
ReplyDeleteYou are helping your brain. However, for me, just looking at that puzzle gave me the heebie jeebies. I hate stuff like that. It only frustrates me, especially if it's numbers, but even word puzzles give me the creeps.
ReplyDeleteI definitely like word things more than number things.
DeleteAnytime I see numbers, my brain just shuts down..UNLESS it's a big sale. I just can not do sudoku. I have several friends who work these everyday...
ReplyDeleteMy first teenager job was at a Dillard's store, where I quickly learned how to mentally compute the 20% employee discount!
DeleteOMG, that's amazing! I don't think I could do that. That's impressive.
ReplyDeleteI was pretty amazed that I got through it too.
DeleteThat's great. I've never been good at puzzles.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen this, seems like doing this would cause anxiety, elevated blood pressure and binge eating.
ReplyDeleteThat would be an interesting combination of symptoms.
DeleteCongratulations 🎊 I love ❤️ crossword puzzles but am not a fan of Sudoku.
ReplyDeleteI have done both only few times but almost fifteen years ago when eldest son had brought from Karachi. I did ok not great though if I remember correctly
ReplyDeleteI think you are right about people are either math or language brained
Congrats for achieving the sudoku 👍
