   Anybody else do these? They started putting them in USA Today this week and they're pretty neat. If you can count, you can do them. There is a 9x9 square grid of boxes, also shaded into 9 boxes that are 3x3. The object is to complete the grid so that every row, column, and 3x3 box has the numbers 1-9 with no repeats. They give you a few numbers to start, and today's puzzle is rated 3 out of 5 for difficulty. It was tricky, but I got it.

Yes, there are on-line solvers for these, but that robs it of all the fun.

	We did them in our math class. Some of them are amazingly hard.

	I'm liking them pretty well. It's easy to get started on them, but the process of elimination can be pretty tricky. Trying to think about it the right way is the first hurdle to get over, to quickly see the boxes and rows and columns as groups.

	I accdentally rolled my mouse over before realizing what I was supposed to do and I found out some of the answers. Do you guys write them down and do it on paper?
