SoDooku

Things have been getting a bit serious on the blog lately, so here’s something ridiculously geeky - in the “You wasted your lunch hour on that?” sense - to lighten the mood.

Just to show that sudokus don’t have to use numbers - any set of discrete symbols will suffice - Christopher Lee stars in a puzzle far, far away… it’s SoDooku!

Pix via Google Image Search; puzzle from Sudoku Generator - rather than the traditional method preferred by The Guardian, where, beginning at sunset, an elderly Japanese man calls out numbers at random while being beaten with a broom of bamboo, this continuing until a puzzle with only one solution has been formed which is then etched into a marble tablet, sanctified in holy water and flown to Farringdon. That sounded like too much effort.
