Sudoku and Other Jap. Puzzles

[Dogboy2709]

I know of a few Jap. Puzzles, the Famous Sudoku (Su Doku meaning Single number)
Kakoru(sp?) and Sumdoku.

I just learned about this New Kind of Sudoku: Circular Sudoku

So, how much fun do you think these kind of puzzles are? and have you even heard of them?

Without a doubt, I know Sudoku. But that 2nd game you mentioned, I've seen it, but not played.

--via Wii Opera Browser

Lol, I suck at Kakuro. I just don't bother doing them. I love Sudoku though.

Too bad it's like...nonexistent in Japan. Everyone's heard of it here, now, but apparently no one plays it in its home country. 8(

 

[Dogboy2709]

Yeah, that seems to allways happen whenever something becomes popuiar over here, it stops in japan. i wonder why that is

EDIT: Every play them ONLINE?

I love Sudoku. I'd bring a thick little book to school and tear out pages and give them to my friends.

 

[Cherrim]

It was popular there like...twenty years ago. It's not like it's a recent thing. I only got into it a few years ago when my local newspaper started publishing it once a week, though. :x Now I never get to do them because my mom snags the paper every morning for them. XD;

But yeah, I've got Brain Age for the DS and I play it on that a lot. If I'm bored enough, I'll do an online Sudoku, but I can usually find better things to do with my time if I'm on the net.

I remember in 7th grade, we used to get Sudoku as an extra credit opportunity after a test. I could never figure it out. XD;

Usually, I'd try then give up. Dara is stupid. XD;

I have only been familiarized with Sudoku. The others are unknown to me.

I only get the time of solving a Sudoku puzzle whenever I start my Brain Age game. It gets boring after a while. Not that is was fun to begin with.

I love Sudoku. I'm quite good at it. x3
Once helped my class to win the semi final of a tournament by completing a sudoku. ^^"

But I love the one they have at AdultSwim.com. It's a FMA themed and you have to fill in a Transmutation circle. Meh, It's fun. x3

 

[Dogboy2709]

Never saw it on Adultswim's site, I spend more of my time Playing Something differnt on that site.

Anyhow, Sumdoku is a combination of Sudoku and Kakuro, some rules are the same, but there are some differnces. I tried a Sumdoku once online, it was fun

Now, Circualr Sudoku tends to Even get Sudoku Pros Nervours.
