There's a new puzzle craze sweeping Britain. It is also gaining popularity in America. It's called Sudoku and was also called Number Place in old Dell (the publishers, not the computers) publications. In the grid below, place a number into each box so that each row, column, and small 3x3 grid contain each number 1 through 9. No number may appear more than once in any row, column, or 3x3 square.
