and it really is a hashtag approach, #sudoku, the only "problem" is regarding supper - no diacritical distinction no "sapper"... i.e. leaning toward sap-+-per, well... the argument aligned itself toward either: #sūdoku vs. #súdoku is the u macron-prolonged or is it stressed? mind you, both instances stress applying a scalpel to the word, opening it up, and retrieving syllables... whatever the choice, i'm still trying to figure out the most terse formulation of optics regarding these puzzles...
e.g. 8-x-8 5 | y | 5
2 \ z \ 2
at school, when we learned about pythagoras, we were taught that you required 3 coordinates to draw a straight line...
funny... since in terms of travel, that whacky geometry of swiggly lines, turns and curves, you only require a point (a) and a point (b);
i'm eventually going to either crack the ultimate simplication of these puzzles... or i'm going to bore myself to death... either way, i'm still going to go to the shop, and buy myself three bottles of beer.
