Description:

What is the person sitting opposite you in a crowded train engrossed in: a Dan Brown thriller, the last "Harry Potter" novel, a complicated text message, a crossword puzzle? No. They're caught up in the greatest craze to strike Britain in many years: Sudoku. Sudoku is a number-placement puzzle played on a square grid. To be successful, a player needs patience and an aptitude for logic (which playing the game helps to develop). You do not need to be good at maths, or a genius at crosswords; you do not need ever to have played the game before. What you do need, though, is "The Little Book of Sudoku", a genuinely pocket-sized book that contains an astonishing 150 puzzles of five levels of difficulty and (for those who need a little help), their answers. Sudoku is completely addictive and has been sweeping the nation since the first puzzle appeared in a newspaper late in 2004. Specifically commissioned for the book, and created by an expert in both logic and artificial intelligence, the 150 puzzles in "The Little Book of Sudoku" will entice the novice, enthral the casual player, and tax the expert. The author, Pete Sinden, is an internationally accredited expert in modelling and simulating intelligent systems. His ingenious application of artificial intelligence, logical programming, and abstract game theories used to create The Little Book Of Sudoku is almost as puzzling as the puzzles themselves...
