    hey guys
    a friend of mine is writing a paper on logical games / games with mathematical solutions.
    any chance you could point her in the right direction or throw a couple of titles of games that you think would be suitable.
    Thanks

    Sudoku has nothing to do with maths.

    You could replace the numbers 1 to 9 with pictures of different animals or with colours.

    I agree that it has nothing to do with maths, I never said it did. Please read the original post:

    The part in bold is what I deemed Sudoku to be an appropriate response to.
