Sudoku enthusiasts will no doubt notice the date's symbolism. The goal of the Sudoku game is to fill a 9×9 grid so that each column, row, and 3×3 sub-grid contains all the digits from 1 to 9. So nine-nine is the natural choice for the day of celebration. While many people believe that Sudoku is a game that has ancient roots in Asia, the game is actually a fairly modern invention. In the late 1700s, a Swiss mathematician named Leonhard Euler invented a similar game that he called Latin Squares. Flash forward to 1979... Indiana architect Howard Garns publishing a puzzle of his own invention (at that time named "Number Place") in "Dell Magazine" that would become the game we now know as Sudoku. Grab a pencil and get ready to have a ton of fun! Although the numbers might seem intimidating at first, it really has nothing to do with math.
