I was always lazy or too feeble minded to learn sudoku. But I recently finally learned minesweeper!

They are an indication that you can't do crossword puzzles.

This is some weird form of minesweeper you are playing

It's a math based puzzle commonly known as Sudoku, the rules are that each 3x3 square can only have numbers 1-9 with no repeats, same with each 9x1 row or column. A set of numbers are placed as a starter pattern (you can solve from blank but it's significantly more challenging) and you need to fill in the remaining numbers.

It's a logic puzzle, no math is involved. It used numbers but those could be replaced with the letters 'A' through 'I' and function the same. Otherwise correct.

I started typing an angry comment about how math is logic and therefore sudoku is a math puzzle, but when I got to the second paragraph about graph theory I realized I was already losing the argument I was having with no one

Number is a simple abstraction: an exercise in conceptualizing a particular part of human experience, - the amounting of stuff and the relations of various amounts.

Its utility shines the most in the practice of measurement: determining, manipulating and comparing the amounts of stuff.

Numbers also useful as a stepping stone in a learning journey, allowing an individual mathematician to transition to using other, more powerful abstractions (like variables, polynomials, sets, functions, vectors, fields, etc.).

Numbers are magick!

There must be something funny in this, right? This has to be some kinda loss or something similar

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It's just a really hard puzzle
