The rest of my family caught the Sudoku bug. It reminds me of a very abstract version of those logic puzzles that go something like "John is a carpenter, Jane doesn't wear a red hat, Bill is neither a plumber nor a baker, the baker wears a blue hat, etc....Who has what job and what color hat do they wear?". I used to really like those puzzles, about 30 years ago. Now I'm more inclined to agree with the second review of Games-Sudoku. Rather than spend time with pencil and paper, it was fun to write my own Sudoku solver though. I'm pretty surprised at how fast it is. It's not very lightweight, but it does do as much ( simple ) logical elimination as possible before resorting to brute force.
