Passion For Puzzles

For the real sudoku lovers and smarties (as the creator's of Kokonotsu call them) there is a website at kokonotsu with every day a new online Super Sudoku Puzzle. They call the Super Sudoku "Kokonotsu" which is a 9-letter word and meaning "nine" in Japanese. The difference between Kokonotsu and a normal Sudoku is that there is a fourth and fifth dimensions added to the normal Sudoku. Next to the normal numerals 1 through 9 you have to place in each row, column and 3x3 square. Kokonotsu adds the two major diagonals. Also, there is a Magic Puzzle Heart which enables clever players to solve the puzzles more quickly, plus a unique four-number solution code to quickly check if the puzzle has been correctly solved. All these extra features add elements of challenge and discovery that are missing in ordinary sudoku.
