My Dog ate my Sudoku Book
By Franklyn Gallup of SudokuGreen.com
Marley is our dog who sometimes gets a little bored. This morning she thought my Sudoku book would be tasty. Marley is part Australian Sheppard, part Sheltie and part Pomeranian. She has a great temperament and we tend to spoil her rotten. She has an amazing mix of black and white. She looks a lot like black and white marble. I am a big fan of Sudoku and I think one of the things I like about it is that unlike politics and religion it is pure logic with one and only one right answer. At least a GOOD Sudoku puzzle has only one answer. I have a number of Sudoku books lying around and often do a puzzle or two to get my mind tired enough so I can get a good night's sleep. My son was doing Sudoku in pen and I do that too now. When I first started doing Sudoku I was using pencil and approached it as a trial and error puzzle. I learned from my son that it is a pure logic. Pen makes it so that you never enter a number until you have logically deducted that it is the one and only number that can be in that box. In some ways it is a lot like Solitaire Chess. Chess has 64 spaces and Sudoku has 81 with the main difference is that in Chess the other pieces move and in Sodoku the numbers have set positions. You can start it and stop at any point and pick it up later and it is easy to take it with you. You should not try and do Sudoku while driving although it does tend to make red lights turn green faster. In Sudoku every box is related to each and every other box and I see this parallel in all the people in the world only on a much larger scale. The relationship may not be immediately apparent but it exists just the same. I of course had to make a Sudoku webpage. I found great program for the website. Some of the features I like is you can change the difficulty level, periodically check your progress so you don't get stuck at the end, and your can print it out for Free. Marley is looking at me wondering what I am up to now as I write this Intel. |

Books are great toys for dogs. They give the sheer pleasure of 'killing' something and eviscerating it followed closely by the thrill of crunching through the bone of the spine to extract the marrow.
For a little while Marley was probably feeling the ancient wolf ancestry that is still evident in all dogs.
Soduko often brings out a similar reaction in me as I try to solve one of the toughest sets of puzzles that has ever been given to me - each one only has 6 numbers to start with and 'trial and error' is the only way to get started.
Maybe Marley was telling you that you had too much to do, and took your Sudodu book away.
Fun intel, Franklyn.
Have a good day.

You didn't use the "My dog ate my homework" excuse when you were younger didja? :) I've never tried Sodoku, but it sounds like something that I'd end up addicted to. Thanks for the intel.
Regards,
Jim
What a fun intel! Marley sounds delightful I've never played Sukuko and I haven't had a dog since I was a kid. I did have a cat that ate papers. One of my favorite stories is taking half a dozen chewed up checks to the bank and asking the teller if she would still cash them. Bank employees gathered round. The pet lovers giggled and told their own stories. The non-pet people just looked disgusted. They did cash the checks. Lucky me.
