The more you do them, the easier they get. My record right now on the medium is 5 minutes and a few seconds. Top 6% baby!!!

My co-worker gave me one of these this weekend. It was kind of fun, once. But I don't think I would do them all the time.

To get these fast times are you doing pencil and paper versions? Or online where the computer tells you the number is right or wrong?

I do both. The online ones I do at websudoku.com don't tell you right or wrong unless you choose to click on it. If you click it and have one wrong, though, you can't find out your percentile. I realized that once and stopped using it.

There is a daily suduko site and you can have them emailed to you. (yeah, I'm a geek at heart). A bunch of newspapers across the country are sponsoring Suduko tournaments with championships to take place in Madison Square Garden. The best (ie hardest) Suduko puzzles are in books.

The 6th grade GT teacher is using them with her class. My son is pretty good. I guess it's time to start coming up with names for the kids as did Carnation with her "nation." I'll have to think of appropriate nicknames

New?
My dad started doing those when he was in Korea in the 60s. He said they were even in American papers back then.
I like Su Do Ku, but it's not new by any means.

I think it's based on a 17th century mathematical equation or so I heard....

That is possible. I never researched how it started.
I'm just still so shocked at how many people are doing them now. It's great: Dad and I found new books to get, before we were just xeroxing old newspaper clippings and doing them over and over.
Also, it got all the people out of my crossword puzzle section of B&N, for the first time in months, it's not completely picked over.
