There was an article on this on the BBCi magazine earlier this week.  It's where you get a 9x9 grid with some numbers filled in and you have to complete the grid making sure that each column and row only has the numbers 1-9 once.  I belive that a daily one is printed in some newspapers (Telegraph is one) and is becoming a bit of a craze.

I admit to being hooked after two days - anyone else been bitten by the bug?  If so, do you know a good source of puzzles?

Both the Telegraph and the Times have published books of puzzles which are advertised in their papers and probably available through amazon etc

if you don't want  to buy a book of them, you could try here......http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/mark/sudoku/

Or here is a website from which you can download a programme to enable you to do them off-line......http://www.geocities.com/mpp_v1/fun/

I believe Times online also has them - a quick search should find that site.

And yes - I am hooked too!! - as soon as one appeared in the Telegraph that was it!!

Printed daily in both the times and the torygraph. The times ws first by a couple of months. Monday is easy, and they get progressively more difficult until Friday (fiendish in the times, diabolical in the torygraph).
Saturday is normally easy.
Totally hooked!

Try this one - there's a new one every day, the one that was in the previous day's Times, and they stay on the site for a week. And the answers are there too.

I'm hooked as well, The Daily Mail features on everyday from Mon-Fri. I won't get up from the breakfast table until I've finished it, and if I make a mistake I tippex out the lot and start again.

i've drawn up a grid (using excel) so that i can print out blank squares. For the really difficult ones (Thurs/Fri) I type the grid in, so i can start again if necessary!
Have to have two copies anyway as OH is also hooked

Thanks for the responses - nice to have a great source of new puzzles.
