International Puzzle Craze Takes to the Skies! GREENSBORO, NC August 18, 2005—Seizing on the immense popularity of the Japanese puzzle, Sudoku, Hemispheres, United’s inflight magazine, will begin running the game in its October issue. Hemispheres, published by Pace Communications, is the first inflight magazine to bring Sudoku to its readers. “United passengers are in for quite a baffling brain teaser when they open Hemispheres on their next business trip or vacation,” said Randy Johnson, editor of Hemispheres. “We are certain our smart and savvy readers are up to the challenge. And they needn't worry about our popular crossword puzzles or Quick Quiz pages. The Sudoku puzzles are just the newest way that Hemispheres makes a long flight more enjoyable.” Sudoku is a Japanese game of logic that uses grids and numbers but very little math. The object of the game is to fill in the grid so that every row, every column, and every 3x3 square contains the digits 1 through 9. Unlike Rubik’s Cube, popular in the early 1980s, every Sudoku puzzle is different. Solving time is typically from 10 to 30 minutes, depending on an individual’s skill and experience. Hemispheres’ puzzles will be created by Wayne Gould, a retired Hong Kong judge, who helped to popularize Sudoku puzzles in the United Kingdom . His software firm, Pappocom, created software to generate the puzzles and led to the publication of Sudoku puzzles in many U.K. newspapers. He is also editor of several paperback collections of the puzzles. The puzzle craze that first swept Japan and Europe has made its way into the American mainstream with syndication in the New York Post, LA Times, Washington Post and, most recently, USA Today. The game is also available electronically to T-Mobile subscribers.
