About Sudoku
This fairly new game has caught on quite well in the USA, Europe, Asia and
several other countries. Sudoku puzzles first appeared in newspapers around the
late 19th century, when French puzzle creators began experimenting with removing
numbers from "magic squares". But these Suduko’s didn't catch on huge until the
1990's. Sudoku became amazing popular around the millennium in 2000 and became
an official international puzzle topper in 2005.
But off course the first country ever introduced Sudoku puzzles was Japan by
Nikoli. The puzzles were shown in the newspaper Monthly Nikolist in April 1984,
titled as “Suuji wa dokushin ni kagiru”, which can be freely translated as "the
digits must be single". Later more puzzles like samurai sudoku were published in more papers
and magazines like Dell Magazine under the game name “Number Place” and USA
Today Sudoku.
