The Sudoku puzzle format consists of (usually) a 9 by 9 grid that must be filled with numbers. The classical Sudoku rules are as follows

  1. Each row must contain all of the digits from 1 to 9, with no repetitions
  2. Each column must contain all of the digits from 1 to 9, with no repetitions
  3. Each sub square (3x3 grids marked by bold lines) must contain all of the digits from 1 to 9, with no repetitions

The historical inspiration of Sudoku begins with the Latin square, a type of grid problem similar to Sudoku in that it consists of an N by N grid where N digits (or letters) must be arranged in accordance with rules 1 and 2 of Sudoku (the sub square had yet to be invented). The first known example of a 9 by 9 Latin Square is from a monograph over 300 years ago, written by the Korean mathematician Choi Seok-Jeong. However, the Latin Square was popularized in the west by the legendary mathematician Leonhard Euler, who independently invented it almost 70 years after Choi Seok-Jeong.

According to Christian Boyer (idk who this is), on July 6th, 1895, the french newspaper La France published the earliest known example of a "true" Sudoku puzzle following all 3 rules of modern Sudokus, although french newspapers had previously been publishing similar (but different) puzzles prior. The name "Sudoku" itself (meaning "single digit") comes from Japanese magazines in which the game was popular during the 80s and 90s.

In Modern times, the Sudoku puzzle scene has been blessed with the addition of numerous variants, that add on additional rules, elevating the puzzle. The puzzle in the provided image is one such example, known as the "miracle Sudoku". It comes with 3 additional rules on top of the 3 original.

  1. If 2 digits are separated by a knight's move in chess, then they cannot be the same
  2. If 2 digits are separated by a king's move in chess, then they cannot be the same
  3. If 2 digits are adjacent (left, right, down or top, none of the diagonal directions), then they cannot be consecutive (ex - 5 and 6, or 7 and 8)

As can be seen from the fact that only 2 digits have been provided to start with, modern Sudoku authors are big fans of making puzzles that appear to be impossible to solve. This of course, is my favorite part about modern Sudoku. If you want to try to solve the miracle Sudoku, here is the link.

Some of the other example variants add new rules, such as German whispers, Dutch whispers, Renban lines, Entropy lines, Thermometer lines, killer cages and many more. You can find a massive collection of these puzzles on the logic-masters website.

A man told me his niece transitioned and then asked me if I knew her. She is more than a decade older than me and lives in a different city.

workplace discrimination, ventingWalked out of my job today. For the last couple years at least we’ve had a side bathroom in the building that was used as the employee bathroom, and last week management decided that isn’t allowed any more with no warning and no explanation. I’m one of several trans employees who are there and we are all very upset about this, I made it explicitly clear that I don’t feel safe using a public bathroom and I know I’m not the only one. We’ve been making some efforts to continue using it anyways but after some back and forth, yesterday the key to the bathroom was either well hidden or taken out of the building completely, and then last night they literally drilled screws into the door frame to make sure we can’t use it.

That was the final straw, so this morning at a team meeting in front of everyone I read out some relevant statistics about anti-trans violence and talked about my own experiences with anti-trans violence (because I didn’t feel like they were taking my safety concerns seriously), told them again that I cannot safely work if I cannot safely use the bathroom, and then told them either they allow access to the employee bathroom again or I will not work until they do. They gave me some weasel-y answer and refused to respond when we called them out on things they said not being true or helpful, and so I left.

I wish I could have organized it as a full strike but we aren’t unionized and without going into too much detail the chances of us successfully unionizing is very low. At this point I might try anyways though cause there’s nothing left for me to lose here, I doubt I can keep my job if they wouldn’t even hear me out. I know several people are probably going to follow me and quit anyways because a lot of people are very upset both for me and themselves. Some of my coworkers were crying while talking to me after the fact. It just is so frustrating, I know that I do a good job and they know it too, I don’t want to quit, but what can I do. I’m just going to start looking for new work and stress about it until I can find something.

having a not great day and i made the mistake of looking at contrapoints drama shit

CW Abuse / transphobiaSo many people are saying that if you think she's a shitty person for being pro-genocide, you're transphobic/transmisogynist. Which is nothing new but, since I'm so divorced from drama nonsense most of the time I haven't seen it in a while. So it just immediately made me flashback to my abusive ex trying to convince all of our mutual friends I broke up with them because I was a transmisogynist. Bc according to them I read their actions as masculine and got scared bc men are scary, not i got scared of being publicly insulted and shit talked for mildly disagreeing on something.

I hate it here kitty-birthday-sad

[–] EstraDoll@hexbear.net 19 points 3 weeks ago (10 children)

there is no U in the Latin language, the letter V was used in its place and generally interchangably

blob-no-thoughts mmhmmm, yep

the V sound in Latin is, historically speaking, a more modern invention of Ecclesiastical Latin. The Romans, more commonly spoke the letter V with what we now have as the U sound. Caesar likely would have said it like Weni, Widi, Wiki

puzzled okay? where are you going with this?

realistically, the Romans were all calling her "Weenus" and that's most likely the most authentic way of referring to her

agony wait wtf why

Update on my job shit if anyone caresI spoke on the phone with the HR rep and my walking out of the meeting was considered abandoning my post or something and so as far as the company is concerned I have quit and that was my last day. I’m gonna push for unemployment anyways but idk if there’s anything I can do about it. I’m feeling really depressed about it ngl, I didn’t like my job at all recently but I still did a good job and would have stuck around if they didn’t effectively force me out. I hope I can find a new job soon.

Gender affirming inconvenience?

I went outside without a bra by accident. Had to literally hold up my boobs while running down the stairs to prevent them from bouncing. Was a very awkward walk to the supermarket with my little brother who doesn't know I'm trans*. I had to hold up the shopping bag and umbrella strategically to cover up.

Sometimes, I feel like you could make a sitcom out of my life.

*Although I have been dropping incredibly subtle hints in the form of LGBT memes. It is a good sign that he responded positively, but that little fucker can't keep his mouth shut, so I'll keep my mouth shut instead.

If the most I ever do in life is transition and take care of my pets, that really is a success tbh

There's a part of me that would love to be isekai'd away somewhere exciting, but transitioning has been exciting and life changing. Maybe that's the isekai I wanted all along thonk-trans

i think i burnt my hand cooking or washing dishes somehow (i made vegan quesadillas, they were good) but the problem is I have NO idea when this occurred and that kind of scares me. I dont think its a serious burn, there's no blister, but its warm and stings like hell and its getting to me. Maybe i had the faucet up too high? idk how you burn yourself and not notice for like, 30 minutes afterwards

Today I told some people I'm trans for the first time, and it went really well. They were truly all so supportive and wonderful and I feel so deeply lucky to have them as friends. It still doesn't really feel real. Like, part of me doesn't believe it actually happened. Maybe that's because I got kinda drunk to do it, who can say?

It's scary too. Having a space where I can be a woman makes beginning to transition feel actually possible, but it's also overwhelming. I barely knew how to shop for men's clothes, let alone women's. Finding a doctor, starting hrt, I have no idea what that looks like or even what my goals for that are, really. I still want to do it all though.

suicidal thoughts, transphobiaYesterday, I felt seriously like killing myself for the first time. Not nearly as fun a first time as the other one. Despite being majorly depressed for most of my life I was lucky enough to never struggle with suicidal thoughts before. It was the article about the draft UN report talking about the "international push to erase women" and "socially contagious" gender dysphoria. Honestly embarassing that such boring, unoriginal shit from the UN of all fucking places is what did it. I will simply choose to believe it was more from the stress of preparing to tell people.

I don't usually post things online, it feels nice. Like journalling, but maybe some other people will read it too.

Does... Does anyone else hate pride? Its pride here... I really dont like it, it just feels like another opportunity to be excluded by my supposed community, another opportunity to be told "everyone fits in here (except you)". Despite what all the people around me seem to say, there is no trans community, no queer community. Theres just overlapping social groups... That im not a part of and either dont want to be a part of or am actively excluded from. I have my friends. Most are trans or queer. Thats enough. Pride is for the acceptable people, not me.
