Riddles, Puzzles, Sudoku.


Today's Organic Chemistry lecture went by at a record pace, thanks to the sudoku puzzle in the school paper. I'm one of those nuts who gets pleasure out of the mind-numbing number game. My mind actually did hurt after I completed it. My theory is that the pain in my head is the equivalent to the soreness in muscles after a good workout. Or maybe I'm suffering from migraines......either way I feel brilliant.

Sudoku has seemed to have really taken off during the last few years. I wonder if it was created on a whim by some crazy Asian genius (i.e. L} or if some ancient sudoku manuscripts were discovered in a dragon den. If it's the dragon den, those things were definitely slept on by the dragon. Everyone claims dragons sleep on golden crowns but every good historian knows that dragons slept on puzzles for comfort.
