Welcome to readers of the Bangor newspaper and the Quick & Simple magazine, both starting Sudoku now. Sudoku should go off with a "bang or" it won't always be "quick and simple".
Pappocom's Sudoku first appeared in the Conway Daily Sun, New Hampshire in September 2004, and it has appeared in The Times (of London) since November 2004.
Don't be put off by some of the complicated-sounding posts in these forums. In some parts of the world they have gotten quite expert already. If you want help, just send in your question, and you are certain to get a friendly reply.
