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.
