The Times Su Doku / The Original Number-Placing Puzzle Give Your Brain a Workout - London HarperCollins 2005 - paperback

In Japan, they don't do many crosswords. They do Su Doku instead. Thousands of puzzles are devoured in train carriages and waiting rooms every day. Yet, although the name is Japanese roughly translating as 'Number Place' the puzzle itself, originally, may not be. A simpler version was created by Euler, the 18th-century Swiss mathematician, and today's Su Doku puzzle is thought to have evolved from that. All puzzles in this book were created by Wayne Gould, a puzzle enthusiast and former Hong Kong judge. He came across Su Doku in a Tokyo bookshop, began making puzzles himself, and them to The Times.
