Dr Tetsuo on his way to rule the minds!

Sudoku has been around for decades, but only now has it gained worldwide popularity. The rules are simple, fill in the missing numbers within the diagram with a digit between 1 and 9. However, each row, column, and region (one of nine subgrids within the whole diagram) can contain the digits 1 through 9 only once.

The Sudoku name comes from Japanese "Suji wa dokushin ni kagiru", what means "the digits must remain single" but actually the Sudoku has European orgins. Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler in 18. Century invented a number puzzle baseing on grid to be filled with number, but contrary to present Sudoku it was not partitioned into blocks. Sudoku was brought to the modern audience by Japanese magazine Nikoli, which started to print regularly the puzzle under the name "Suji wa dokushin ni kagiru" often abbreviated to Sudoku.

Breakpoint, a leading developer of entertainment software, prepared a mobile version of Sudoku in order to allow people enjoy the game any where. Apart form friendly interface and good graphics Breakpoint invited also a specialist dr Tetsuo who keeps the track of how well you do in the game. He notes how many diagrams you solve and how long each one takes you. Furthermore dr Tetsuo helps to solve the most complicated diagrams.

It is said that at least 100 million humans world-wide played one portion of Sudoku, are you the one?

The today's Sudoku originates from the USA it 1979 in the Zeitschrifft Math Puzzels & Logic of problem was for the first time published there.

The Sudoku attained its break-through however only around approximately 1984, when the Japanese magazine Nikoli printed these first under the name Suji wa dokushin ni kagiru . From this the term Sudoku finally developed. The New Zealander Wayne Gould learned Sudoku on a Japan journey to know. It needed six years, in order to develop a software, which can develop new Sudokus by push of a button. Subsequently, it offered its mysteries of the "Times" in London. The daily paper printed the first Sudoku mysteries and kicked loose in this way an Sudoku avalanche in the western world.

In the meantime roughly 100 million humans world-wide at least played one portion of Sudoku, it are said. In Austria the regular casting in the daily paper "the standard" led to a rapid spreading at the end of 2005.

A similar mystery play became under the name "Carré latin" (latin square) of Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler in 18. Century invented; contrary to Sudoku this is not partitioned into blocks (Unterquadrate).

Breakpoint is a leading developer and publisher of entertainment software for wireless devices. Breakpoint's output and ethic promote a unilateral spirit of global community, an active development of skills and passion, personal individuality and huge amounts of healthy competitive fun.

Sudoku

Dr Tetsuo's warning: "This game is highly addictive! Play at your own risk!"

This is Dr Tetsuo. Dr Tetsuo is doing research on logical thinking and, in the process, is hoping to find some bright minds that excel above others. To achieve this, he has devised a whole multitude of diagram puzzles, called Sudoku, to test those willing to take up his challenge.

Sudoku has been around for decades, but only now has it gained worldwide popularity. The rules are simple, fill in the missing numbers within the diagram with a digit between 1 and 9. However, each row, column, and region (one of nine subgrids within the whole diagram) can contain the digits 1 through 9 only once. You get a few digits already placed within the diagram, called givens, but the rest is up to you.

Dr Tetsuo won't leave you hanging, however. There are several options to help you. You can enter predicted digits, highlight the same digit in a diagram, as well as have your mistake shown to you. Don't worry if you were never good in math. All you need to rely on here is your logic - mathematical knowledge is not required.

As you work your way through his diagrams, Dr Tetsuo will keep track of how well you do. He will note how many diagrams you solve and how long each one takes you. The more diagrams you solve, and the faster you solve them, the more points you'll get. And more points make Dr Tetsuo very happy.
