Sudoku

Posted on July 10th, 2007 by The SUBWAYblogger in Live Blogging On the Subway

I don’t even know if I’m spelling it correctly…sudoku. Do you “soduko” on your way to work? Today it’s what the crossword was 10 years ago.

In either case, I can’t think of anything more stressful to do at any time. I just don’t get what satisfaction a person gets from completing one.

Just about every morning, I see someone crunching the numbers on the train. This is going to sound like a racist remark, but many of the Asian women I see playing have the pocket sized, electronic version. Just an observation, nothing more.

Paper or electronic, I just don’t get it. Then again, I guess most people wouldn’t understand blogging as a way to pass the time.

I guess I’m just not that type of person. Doing all that addition over and over again to complete the game would cause me more stress. I’d probably have a headache before getting 3 boxes filled in.

Live from the subway, back to you in studio… .

    Actually, there’s no addition or math of any kind involved in Soduko. You just have to be able to read numbers (or letters or symbols) and put one of each in every row, column and 3×3 box. It’s a logic puzzle. Nothing more.

    I’m with the SB on this one. I guess there are word people (like bloggers) and numbers people (like sudoku fans). I’m a word person myself, and math is something I do when I have to. Guess that explains the bank account…

    I have a long trip anytime I get on the train (because I live at the end of a line) so I always have a bag with me full of stuff to pass the time. It’s either books, magazines or newspapers to read. Crossword puzzles (although I can’t seem to finish them), or the good ol’ iPod. I don’t listen to music much anymore because I’m bored of my music. Now it’s all podcasts.

    I listen to a podcast about the Paranormal. A podcast about coffee (sound boring right?) and the Kevin Smith podcast known as Smodcast.

    I’m a big fan of the Coffee-Break Spanish Podcast on iTunes. It’s helping me understand my neighbors.

    If you want to try out something new in sudoku, try shendoku, using the sudoku rules but playing two people, one against the other, like battleshipps. They have a free version to download at http://www.shendoku.com/sample.pdf . Anything else they are bringing out or they are working on you can find at http://www.shendoku.com or at they´r blog http://www.shendoku.blogspot.com . Have fun, I am. I specially like one slogan I heard about Shendoku: SUDOKU is like masturbation (on your own)…. SHENDOKU is like sex (it takes two).

    One important issue is that when you find yourself searching for a student loan you may find that you’ll want a co-signer. There are many cases where this is correct because you should find that you do not employ a past credit rating so the lender will require you have someone cosign the loan for you. Great post.

    I have realized that online degree is getting well-known because getting your college degree online has turned into a popular option for many people. Quite a few people have never had a possible opportunity to attend a conventional college or university nonetheless seek the raised earning possibilities and career advancement that a Bachelor’s Degree gives. Still some others might have a qualification in one discipline but would want to pursue anything they now possess an interest in.

    I might also like to express that most of those who find themselves with no health insurance are generally students, self-employed and people who are not working. More than half in the uninsured are under the age of Thirty-five. They do not sense they are wanting health insurance simply because they’re young plus healthy. Their particular income is generally spent on homes, food, plus entertainment. Some people that do represent the working class either whole or part time are not supplied insurance through their jobs so they go without with the rising expense of health insurance in the United States. Thanks for the ideas you talk about through this website.

    Good post here. One thing I would like to say is the fact most professional fields consider the Bachelors Degree like thejust like the entry level requirement for an online course. When Associate Diplomas are a great way to begin with, completing ones Bachelors presents you with many entrance doors to various jobs, there are numerous internet Bachelor Course Programs available by institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another concern is that many brick and mortar institutions offer you Online variations of their certifications but usually for a greatly higher payment than the companies that specialize in online college diploma plans.

    I have realized some new points from your website about computer systems. Another thing I’ve always assumed is that computers have become something that each household must have for many reasons. They provide convenient ways to organize households, pay bills, search for information, study, listen to music and in many cases watch shows. An innovative way to complete these types of tasks is to use a notebook computer. These personal computers are mobile, small, robust and lightweight.

    Thanks for your helpful article. One other problem is that mesothelioma cancer is generally the result of the inhalation of fibers from mesothelioma, which is a very toxic material. Its commonly found among staff in the structure industry who definitely have long contact with asbestos. It can be caused by living in asbestos covered buildings for an extended time of time, Inherited genes plays a crucial role, and some consumers are more vulnerable on the risk in comparison with others.
