My latest fixation
Sudoku. *
Which is weird because as any law student will tell you, math ain't our strong suit. But, sudoku isn't about math; it's about logic.
And I am the type that tenaciously sinks her teeth into a problem until it's solved. This compulsion has made me late for more than one meeting, kept me up later than I should have been on more than one occasion and really annoyed/perplexed/amused numerous friends.
But the solveability factor is what makes sudoku so great -- and addictive; unlike crossword puzzles which require knowledge of the obtuse, trivial, profane and profound, sudoku puzzles can always be solved. If you're tenacious enough. Which I am.
*Which various sites unearthed by google tell me comes from "Suji wa dokushin ni kagiru" -- and even though I speak (actually, I eavesdrop) Japanese, I had to look that up too. It essentially means, I am told by the google gods, "the digits must remain single". From what I know about Japanese, I'm not sure that's an exact translation, but I can't do any better.
