I reached this link via Mathforge. What can I say, the game is addictive. My current record is 6 min for the easy game and I’ve yet to try the hard and 55 min for the evil level. Now, the very natural question is computing the total possible combinations offered by the Sudoku board and this has stumped me. The wiki page has links to work done by mathematicians on this calculation.

This is a really good book about the author’s attempt at prediction. His website has all the information you need to know about the book. All I will say is that the book has plenty to offer for high school or young undergraduates interested in mathematics and computational stuff.
