In a New York street, a small truck hit a big tree. The truck was full of glasses and they were all broken. The driver came out of the truck and looked at the broken glasses. He was very sad and people in the street felt sorry for him. Then an old man walked over to the driver. He looked at him for a few minutes and said, “My poor boy! I think you must pay a lot for this.” “Yes,” was the sad answer.
“Well, well,” said the old man, “hold out your hat—here’s some money for you, and I can say that some of these people will give you a helping hand, too.” Then he walked away.
The driver held out his hat and over a hundred people came and put their money in it. At last, the driver took out a bag and put all the money in it.

Are you tired of the puzzles you usually do? Sudoku is a new choice. Sudoku consists of the Japanese characters Su (meaning “number”) and Doku (meaning “single”), but it was not invented in Japan. It was created by Howard Garnes in 1979. The puzzle was first introduced into Japan by Nikoli Puzzle Company in 1984. In 1986, Kaji Maki, the president of Nikoli made the rules strict and clear. Soon in the same year Sudoku became popular in Japan. In November 2004, The Times, a British newspaper, first printed it in the newspaper. It became an international hit in 2005. Now Sudoku becomes very popular all over the world.
The rule of the puzzle is to fill in the grids (格子) so that every row, every line and every 3×3 box has the numbers 1 to 9. Here is a Sudoku. Please relax and enjoy. It’s fun!
