Daily Sudoku Contest with Cash Prize; no entry fee!
from:Dr.Glenn Livingston
A daily sudoku contest offering a prize money of US$25 is
causing waves on the Internet, with enthusiasts of the madly
popular game rushing to test their skills.
The Sudoku Daily Contest is being hosted by a community site,
Sudoku Village ( http://www.SudokuVillage.com ), promoted by
Geostar Publishing LLC, a US-based e-publishing company. The
community is a sequel to a highly successful eBook published by
the company, titled: "How to Solve every Sudoku Puzzle" (
http://www.HowToSolveEverySudokuPuzzle.com ).
As the contest has puzzles of varying levels of difficulty, from
"very easy" to "very difficult", even beginners are taking a
shot at it.
"It's the most wonderful thing - and the only interesting
feature in the whole internet services because I'm totally
addicted to Sudoku," says a member of the site.
One subscriber even claims the contest has improved her image in
the family: "My husband thinks I am a nut, but when I keep
winning, I tell him now are you glad I am a nut?"
Sudoku Village has welcomed every Sudoku enthusiast to join and
avail all the privileges that go with the membership of this
fast-growing community. With over 2,200 members joining the
bandwagon within about 10 days of its launch, the call has not
gone unheeded. Indeed, by the look of things, a community is
precisely what Sudoku addicts worldwide seem to have been
seeking, if the reactions of its members are any indication.
"I think that it is great; just what Sudoku people need - others
to share their talent with and to exchange methods!!! I think it
is just what we need!" gushes one.
"I appreciate all that you do to join Sudoku-ers together and
help us solve the darn things. Thank you for your continued
interest!" exclaims another.
The daily contest itself has proved to be a rallying point for
the site's growing legion of members with blogs and forums on
the site chocabloc with messages exhorting the winners to part
with their "secret" methods.
A typical comment reads: "All of us struggling to win here will
appreciate any useful hints and tips. Even tips from losers on
what doesn't seem to work will help, I suppose."
"Please make your winning formula a public secret," pleads
another.
There is no dearth of members offering to help others in the
community to hone their skills, either.
In what may remind the uninitiated of the biblical parable of
Babel, one community member offers the following words of wisdom
to beginners: "I go down, then across, then the boxes, and
repeat. If I get stuck, I do each individual box to see if only
one number can go into it."
Asked why the site was offering the free contest, the Managing
Director of Geostar, Dr. Glenn Livingston says, "When we decided
to launch Sudoku Village, we were looking to create permanent
value for Sudoku enthusiasts. The free contest is in keeping
with that objective."
The contest, with no entry fee, is the only one of its kind. The
rules of the contest are very fair and simple. A prize of US$ 25
is awarded every day to a member of Sudoku Village, who solves
the puzzle online in the shortest possible time. To pre-empt the
use of unfair means, reasonable precautions have been taken,
says Glenn.
A major attraction of the contest is that it's open to members
from all countries, and absolutely free. "An international
community needs an international contest," says Glenn while
pointing out that Sudoku Village, with over 2,000 members (who
have joined within just 10 days of launch), represents a cross
section of Sudoku addicts from all over the world.
