LaunchLaunchLaunchLaunch • Sudoku has a fascinating history. "Su" means number in Japanese, and "Doku" refers to the single place on the puzzle board that each number can fit into. It also connotes someone who is single—indeed, one way to describe the game is "Solitaire with numbers.”

actually European and American, and the game represents the best in cross-culture.

We have been using deductive reasoning.
Deductive reasoning is when you move from things you know or assume to be true - called 'premises' - to conclusions that must follow from them.
Premises Conclusion
Deductive Reasoning
The most famous example of deduction is
• Socrates is a man. • All men are mortal. • Therefore, Socrates is mortal. The first two statements are premises,
and the third statement is a conclusion. By the rules of deduction, if the first two statements are true, the conclusion must be true.
