Just for the record:
Sudoku is the name coined by Nikoli, the puzzle magazine which introduced the puzzle from the US to Japan. Like all other stuffs from Japan, it is not originated from Japan. I am not a lawyer, but if you package it, expect a submarine patent. Sudoku is the abbreviation of "Suji wa dokusin ni kagiru", which means "a digit is best if it is not married", which implies that there is only one digit in each grid of the puzzle. Only the editors of Nikoli use the name sudoku; others call the puzzle "nampure", which is the Japanese abbreviation of "number place", which is believed the original name of the puzzle. -- Oohara Yuuma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Lord, what fools these mortals be! --- William Shakespeare, "A Midsummer-Night's Dream" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
