This year’s World Sudoku Championship, held in Zilina, Slovakia, was interesting as two-time champion Thomas Snyder and current US champion Wei-Hwa Huang did not qualify for the 36-person playoff.
On the team event, were the US Team over-confident when they finished the puzzle without realizing that one digit in one of the six grids were wrong? That error caused them to fall to the seventh placing.
The championship ended with the home team from Slovakia winning the team championship. Second and third placing were respectively taken by Czech Republic and Serbia.

SUDOKU CRAZE HAS REACHED CHINA
The youngest competitor at this year’s World Sudoku Championships held in Prague was Chang Cheng of China. Chang Cheng and his team mates beat 3,000 hopefuls who entered a qualifying competition to represent their country.
Eventhough China ended the competition at 32nd placing, it was a commendable score considering that it is their first experience in world Sudoku competition. What is certain is that China will be represented in future events of similar stature. And it is quite evident that the Sudoku craze has spread far and wide to China and the Far East.
