So my dad got me addicted to this f*cking game SuDoKu

[kedrys]

while we were visiting the folks in Florida. He does his on paper, I found one at Shockwave, and downloaded one for my Palm.

Just thought I'd spread the fucking joy. :P

1. What, no takers?

Wusses.

:P

[bigwillq]

2. I've never played that game.

I heard lots of people do though.

[skygazer]

3. They're boring to me

Too easy. I prefer crosswords and logic puzzles.

[Hosnon]

22. Try to find some that require first and preferably second level

assumptions to complete.

Those are the fun ones...

[baby_mouse]

4. You can buy little hand held electric sudoku machines now.

HTH

[stanwyck]

5. SuDoKu is addicting more people than crack

we've got another SuDoKu addict every day here at work.

[Mojambo]

6. Don't worry. The thrill will pass shortly.

I played it constantly for a few weeks and now I kind of find it boring.

[Sannum]

7. Nah...

It involves numbers and I have a math learning disability. Numbers cause me to have panic attacks. I taught myself to read while still a toddler, but anything with numbers just makes me go into a fetal position.

I do like crossword puzzles...

8. Which application did you get for you Palm?

I have a really good freeware version on mine if you're interested.

[kedrys]

11. The Astraware version

I downloaded the free trial, but I haven't installed it yet because my HotSync software ate itself and I can't find my install disk. :D

[tuvor]

14. If your Palm accepts SD cards...

...can you copy the application to the card, and then put it in your SD card slot, in order to move it to your Palm's RAM?

I know you can't do this with all software, but since the one I PMed you about is all just self-contained, I can't imagine that there should be any problems.

[kedrys]

16. I'll probably have to do that

It's a long story, but my desktop machine had system problems that took me forever to fix, and some library files got munched in the process. I thought I'd found them all, but some, like the HotSync stuff, pop up from time to time.

Thanks! :)

17. Have you tried Palm support?

http://www.palm.com/us/support, assuming you're in the USA.

I know there are downloads to be found there. Maybe there's something there that you can use...?

[kedrys]

18. I'll try that next, thanks!

The short version is that in April, I made a system upgrade to my Mac that ate itself, and trying to install Tiger on top of it turned out to be a major pain in the nethers. 98% of everything on it works fine now, but every once in a while, I have to dig up fresh copies of lib files and other system components to replace ones that got et :D.

9. This is where I play it

I like the fact that it has an "Evil" difficulty level. My dad's book had Easy, Intermediate, Difficult, and Diabolical. :rofl:

[Beware the Beast Man]

19. I tried once, and gave up.

I'm a traditional crosswordist myself...

[gizmo1979]

20. Excellent game.

I have half the guys at work playing now.I do the USA todays and a local newspaper's also.USA today is good for beginners they are easy.

[malta blue]

21. My husband got the 6 year old hooked on it over the

school vacation. Now she wants a book of her very own.

[nickinSTL]

23. my fiancee got hooked on our vacation

the paper my parents get has a daily Sudoku puzzle...and she got hooked.

I bought her a book with a bunch of puzzles after we got home...so she can indulge her new addiction. :evilgrin:

[ThatsMyBarack]

24. We got two new CD-ROM Sudoku games at work....

....and I'm afraid to go near them. I don't have time for another addicting timwaster, sorry.

[kedrys]

27. LOL

I know what you mean...I have no self-control whatsoever when it comes to those things. I can waste an entire evening easy with stuff like that. :rofl:

[Deja Q]

25. Sodoku is for adults only then?

[kedrys]

26. No, but I expect even underage players will catch the bug

Once you get started, it's really hard to put down and do something else. :D

[Deja Q]

31. Well, not until you've finished!

:wow:

:spray:

[GrumpyGreg]

28. I started it a month ago and am hooked---it is in the Boston Globe--

I also am stuck on one puzzle and am going NUTS!!!!!!!

[kedrys]

29. It does that to you, doesn't it?

:D I got stuck on one, and I simply COULD NOT LET IT GO until I had it figured out. :rofl:

[GrumpyGreg]

30. I set one down last night and am going to try again tomorrow---

I needed a day of rest.

I don't like doing them on-line.I prefer paper so I actually made myself some large sized,blank grids and copy the puzzles from the computer.

And this is after only a month.

[kedrys]

32. i just finished an easy one on Shockwave in 9:18

I better go to bed before the s.o. files for reckless abandonment of spouse... :P

Oh, and I've designed a better paper grid for it already for next time I do one on paper. :rofl:
