SUDOKU - Only for the Intelligent?? Maybe not!!!

I just learned how to play Sudoku a while ago and I love it. Some people say it's only Intelligent people who can play it, but that's a load of bull... let me teach you how I play it :)

Step 1
Write the numbers from 1 - 9 on a sheet of paper.
Step 2
Choose an open box that you wish to fill, now use the numbers 1 - 9 and scratch out all the numbers that are in the same line, of the box that you wish to fill; horizontally, vertically and in the mini square of 9 boxes.


Step 3
The numbers that remain from the numbers 1 - 9, you write in the corners of the box that you chose to fill. Like so:


Do this to every single box.

Step 4
When all the boxes are completed you will see that some boxes only have one number written in the corners e.g number 2; now write the number 2 bigger and scratch out all the other number 2's that are in the same line horizontally or vertically, as well as in the same mini 9 square boxes.

After step 4 most numbers will be filled in - Each number may only be used once in a row, vertically or horizontally or in the mini square of 9 boxes.

Step 5
In some cases you will have to guess which numbers to write bigger and which ones to scratch out in the corners; as some boxes may look like this:



and it's the guessing part that makes the game more interesting - follow your sudoku gut:)

I hope this lesson is clear and logical, otherwise I will also have to reason that Sudoku is only for the Intelligent - LOL
