On a TV programme where a guest was invited on to be asked questions by a panel, to discover the occupation of the guest, it emerged the African woman was the inventor of Sudoku - and that was her name. Recently someone was telling me it was Japanese. Can you confirm the African woman as the inventor and the name?

Several folk lay claim but the concensus seems to be that Leonhard Euler started it all with the modern version attributed to Howard Garns. Take your pick !!

There seems to be no mention of an African woman.

..also watching BBC2 s Eggheads recently - For the origins of Sudoku the choices were Afrika, Japan and ..somewhere else - I decided Africa, which was given as the correct choice of alternatives (Judith on the eggheads said she thought it was Japan).
