      March 02, 2009: I love Sudoku. I love Kenken even more. It uses the principals of Sudoku but has the added (pun intended) benefit of using math skills. Students just learning math, older people who want to keep their brains agile and sharp and those in between can profit from and enjoy greatly these fun number puzzles. Bravo Tetsuya Miyamoto and thank you, Will Shortz and Marilyn Burns.
