Sudoku Madness!!!

Warning- Sudoku is ADDICTIVE! I take no responsibility for loss of time, job or spouse resulting from playing Sudoku.

For Those of you who don't know just what sudoku is, It is a puzzle where you are given a grid of either blank squares or with a number (1-9) in it and you have place the numbers (1-9) in such a way that every row, column and diagonal line has each number occur exactly one time.

I would give you a nice and comprehensive explanation, but why when you have Wikipedia and some videos?
