Now You Can Do Sudoku
Frustrated Sudoku fans can heave a collective sigh of relief over the launch today of a 79-page e-book that details an easy-to-understand, logical method of solving these apparently simple, cunningly deceptive, and utterly addictive puzzles.
Online, December 21, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Frustrated Sudoku fans can heave a collective sigh of relief over the launch today of a 79-page e-book that details an easy-to-understand, logical method of solving these apparently simple, cunningly deceptive, and utterly addictive puzzles.
Other features include a new puzzle layout designed to enhance and organise the information required to win, move-by-move worked examples demonstrating how the method works, advice on common errors and traps, and error analysis for turning a lose-first-time situation into a try-again-and-win experience.
Scottish-born and South African-based author, Caro Eardley, who spent three years developing the method, comments: "When my serious addiction to Sudoku crashed into Mensa's famed and feared Absolutely Nasty Sudoku series, I just had to persevere until I found a method which allowed me to consistently win.
"Another goal was to avoid scary mathematical terminology - many people simply shut down when stuff like Finned X-wings, Gordian Polygons and Turbot Fish are mentioned!"
Eardley was also motivated by the scale of fellow addict's frustration - over 14,500 internet searches for help with Sudoku were logged in November 2010 alone. She adds: "The winatsudoku e-book also offers relief for the suffering of partners and family members of addicts - it's a great gift that breaks the dreadful cycle of frustration and rage that surrounds the typical addict, so it's a win-win situation for all concerned.
"My method is not a magic wand that solves games for you - I would never spoil the fun of the game - so you still have to work to win. I'd say that it's is more like a path that leads you safely through the enchanted forest where all sorts of pitfalls lurk to trap the unwary traveller."
