How to play interactive Sudoku

Sudoku puzzles will appear daily at 2000 BST, with the solution appearing the following day

As the week progresses the Sudoku will increase in difficulty from Easy to Super Fiendish

To solve a Sudoku puzzle, every digit from 1 to 9 must appear in each of the nine rows and columns and in each of the 3 × 3 boxes

Before playing the interactive Sudoku, please check out the Help to discover useful solving techniques and how to make best use of the interactive game, including virtual pencil marks and saving your puzzles

You may print out your Sudoku from the interactive game or in the archived listings of puzzles, simply right click on the image and select “print”

Moving around the grid

Move around the grid using your mouse or keyboard

To enter a number, select a square using the keyboard or mouse, then press a number from 1 to 9

To remove any number, press Spacebar, Backspace, Delete or enter a new number in its place

You can use the four arrow keys or tab to move around square by square

Pencil marks

As an aid to solving your Sudoku, try using the pencil marks situated at the top of the squares

You can note down possible numbers here until just one candidate remains

Simply enter the numbers on your keyboard and use the cursor keys and delete button to make changes

Saving

Our online Sudoku can remember you on a specific computer, click the Save button to store your puzzle

At a later time when you wish to continue the puzzle, simply click the Restore button to enter the puzzle into the display

Only one game can be saved at a time – saving a second puzzle will remove the first.

Pentagon is cheaper than Playboy

Posted in blog, Blogroll, funny with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , on February 3, 2008 by keronii

I am always doubtful about the creditworthiness of PageRank and valuating method of websites.

So today, i am using Smark PageRank

to estimate the cash value of some popular websites and found many things hilarious

See Keronii Edit Grid for further details

to estimate some stereotypical websites and found something interesting:

1./ Yahoo is around $3b. It means Microsoft intended to pay 15 times premium ($44b) offer to Yahoo. P/E = 14.7. Whao. So funny. Lmao.

2./ Yahoo is more expensive than Google

3./ Pentagon is cheaper than Playboy.

I am really disregarded those values. Dun know how they can rank like this.

You guys have any ideas about this?

MySpace launches developer platform to catch up with the success of Facebook

Posted in blog, Blogroll with tags , , , on February 2, 2008 by keronii

MySpace, the world’s largest online social network which offers an interactive, user-submitted network of friends, personal profiles, blogs, groups, photos, music and videos internationally is going to launch a suite of tools for software developers to develop games or other applications which can integrate with the website. The launching of the developer platform by MySpace is to widen the gap against other online social network rivals especially Facebook. The emergence of Facebook in its popularity has somehow challenged MySpace being the world leader in online social network.

The move to open developer platform by MySpace is inevitable. Its main rival, Facebook, having offered a similar development platform to its users in May last year, has moved aggressively to close the gap between it and MySpace. By opening up a developer platform, can MySpace replicate the success of rival Facebook’s developer programme? It is still an unanswered question. Anyway, developers who wish to try out MySpace’s platform can register themselves for more information commencing on 6 February at developer.myspace.com.
