What is the Sudoku craze all about? It makes no sense to me. It's about numbers but there's no math?

Answer 1

Sudoko is not "about" numbers - it is about placement of those numbers.

Answer 2

It's logic.

Not only does each square of 9 have to have all nine numbers, each horizontal line and each vertical line also must have all the numbers from 1 to 9 in them.

This is not magic square, where each line add up to a certain total. It's about non-repetative placement

Answer 3

No, it doesn't involve any math. All it does is to exercise your brain by arranging all the numbers so that it will have 1-9 in every which way. It builds up your memory along the way because you're trying not to do it through trial and error, and it also builds up your organization/arranging skills. I personally don't enjoy it, but my mom's addicted to it.

Answer 4

There's no math in Chess, either. Don't let the numbers fool you, you could replace them all with shapes, or letters, and perform the same functions. It's a logic puzzle, and it's quite stimulating.

Answer 5

It's all a logic problem... ranging from easy to hard. It's like a crossword puzzle, with numbers.

Answer 6

I LOVE SUDOKU and is sooooooooo addicting if you need help or want some samples email me or we can talk on messenger

Answer 7

It's not about the numbers. It's all about logic. You use logic to place the numbers where they belong. It's a cool puzzle.

Answer 8

they just use numbers cause it should probably either be numbers or letters, symbols would be too hard to memorize(there is this special da vinci code edition which has weird symbols but is not different), do you think it would be easier to remember 1-9 or a-i?
