Color Sudoku
Author: Philip Riley
Publisher: Sterling Publishing Company
ISBN: 9781402747144
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Sudoku fans will welcome this bright new twist to the popular puzzles! Every one of these ingenious creations--from "Bold X" to "Rainbow Up"--makes colors and patterns part of the solving fun. And although each puzzle maintains the normal 9x9 grid and follows the basic rules of the game, every style adds an additional restriction to intensify the challenge. In "Worms," for example, swirly, squirmy shapes fill the grids; the numbers increase as you work your way from head to tail. "Even/Odd" features squares in two colors, depending on whether the number to fill it is even or odd. And in "Positional Board," no two of the red squares can be the same number. They're all lots of fun!

From Square One
Author: Dean Olsher
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1439164525
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
From Square One is Dean Olsher's captivating and in-depth exploration of the cultural history, psychology, and even metaphysics of crosswords -- their promise of a world without chaos and uncertainty. It is often repeated that more than 50 million Americans do crossword puzzles on a regular basis. Skeptical of that claim, Dean Olsher does his own research and finds that the number is nearly dead-on. Filled with lively, original reporting, From Square One disputes the widely held belief that solving crosswords helps prevent Alzheimer's; in fact, the drive to fill in empty spaces is more likely a mental illness than a cure. While "puzzle addiction" is usually meant as a lighthearted metaphor, the term contains more than a nugget of truth. Olsher looks into the origins and traditions of this popular pastime, which made its debut in a New York newspaper in 1913. Or did it? Along the way, he takes readers inside the making of a crossword. He also revives the quest of musical-theater legend and puzzle constructor Stephen Sondheim to find an American audience for a British crossword style that demands a love of verbal playfulness over knowledge of arcane trivia. Informative, engaging, and often surprising, From Square One is a unique and enjoyable read for puzzlers and nonpuzzlers alike.

The Sudoku Effect: Universities in the Vicious Circle of Bureaucracy
Author: Stefan Kühl
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3319040871
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 101
Book Description
This book shows that the introduction of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) of credit points as a new accounting unit at universities has led to increased bureaucracy and the schoolmaster-style regimentation of Bachelor’s and Master’s courses. It explains how, due to the pressure of having to plan every single working hour of studying in advance, a ‘Sudoku Effect’ is created by the necessity to combine courses, exams and modules in such a way that the points ‘add up’. An unintentional side effect of the introduction of the ECTS, the Sudoku Effect has led to more classroom style teaching, an inflation of exams and fewer choices available to students. It has resulted in such complex and contradictory guidelines for the planning of the curriculum that the values attributed to the higher education reform can often only be realised if the rules for Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes are ignored, or at least stretched, in practice. The book describes how the reaction to this situation is the continuous further refinement of the complicated rules rather than their abolishment.
