Sudoku became popular worldwide in 2005 and is frequently referred to as the "Rubik's cube of the 21st century."  Sudo-San is the accessible version and better yet, it's FREE! Just enter numbers 1-9 in each cell of a 9x9 grid, the trick? each row, column and region can contain just one instance of each numeral.  Can you say 'brain strain?'  It's said the trick to completing the puzzle is patience and logical ability. 

The foundation of Sudoku was established by an 18th century blind mathematician, Leonhard Euler, who lost his sight in early middle age. It was only after Euler lost his sight that he developed his famous Latin or 'magic' squares (and Latin square puzzles for that matter) that Sudoku is based on.
