History Of Sudoku

Sudoku (or Su Doku) first came to light in the 1970s in an American puzzle magazine. It was presented under the name, "Number Placement" and the creator was not credited. It later resurfaced in a Japanese puzzle and games magazine in 1984.

The BBC reports it was then spotted in Tokyo by Wayne Gould - a retired judge from New Zealand. He was so impressed with the game that he spent six years writing software to generate Sudokus and now supplies them for a minimal cost to newspapers and puzzle magazines.

Every UK national paper is now running Sudokus alongside crosswords, with one-up-man-ship creeping in - the Guardian newspaper for instance claims its Sudokus are better for being "hand crafted" in Japan and the Independent has launched a Sudoku championship.

Wikipedia also has some great information about the history of Sudoku, as it does do about most subjects.
