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.

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.

I've been reading Devon Price's "Laziness Does Not Exist" and it has been challenging and life changing. I am now refusing to feel guilty for taking breaks at work, even hours at a time, for feeling like if I'm not moving my mouse I'm not being productive, and for blaming myself when solutions don't appear in front of my face when I want them to.

It helps that work has been unbelievably dysfunctional the past month or so (before that too, but there's definitely been a recent rampup), since it pushed me to the point where something needed to change.

details about thatToday, I am quiet quitting for the day. I have a meeting that is possibly going to devolve into people being very angry at me for decisions made and poorly communicated by other people, who should be the ones making decisions, and who are on vacation. 4 days from a massive release and I'm still fighting with people over the stupidest shit and they all think they are in charge. My boss is beyond useless and is one of the people throwing a tantrum at me, but these aren't my decisions, I'm just implementing them.

I feel like at this point I am a lightning rod for all of these bad decisions and that everyone is taking it out on me. I can't help but think that they all think they're smarter than me and would have totally done things differently in my place. It's not fair to me and no amount of money is worth this kind of mistreatment.

I hope I get laid off, maybe I'll get decent severance, but since it's possible everyone is turning on me, it sounds like maybe I'll get fired instead. Either way, it's not worth my physical or mental health, so I'm trying my best to not push beyond my capacity.

no-copyright lost world could have been the third storybook game, same team that made the secret rings and black knight minus the main director/writer Maekawa. So the setting would have been ancient Greek pantheon which would have been cool ngl way better than the soft reboot lost world tried to be (headcanon). Still know what would have been cooler, the other possible settings they were considering like wild west or fucking lovecraftian setting. We were hard robbed on something amazing kiryu-pain

I'm goin to search for trans resources in my country. Getting only stuff for Europe and US fucking sucks, I can't really get anything shipped here from any sources. Getting a prescription is going to take too long tho. I want booba...

I can't find any useful info. Every fucking thing sucks and IDK what I need to do to get the help I need.

It doesn't help that they changed the fucking rules for worse 2 months ago. How do I move to a less fucked up country?

This is so real, speaking on chili dogs unleashed was the first time they appeared in a game and it wasn't until black knight that we see no-copyright eat one on screen.

blood levels are looking good with 690pmol/L for E and 0.7nmol/L for T. trans-hydra

hate how having to do conversions for this shit is necessary since every fucking clinic seems to use a different measurements to calculate the levels. will probably up the E a bit to get over the 730pmol/L to be in monotherapy range and safe from the T-virus party-parrot-science

wrong mega whoops

uhhh how 'bout that gender?

for the first time ever I'm actually using the usb-c port on my pc to plug into a usb-4 dock. I fully expected it to work since most of these dock devices can degrade down to usb-3 etc but I was still happy when my keyboard, mouse, audio, etc. worked

of course the display doesn't work but I solved that with an HDMI cable, now at least I can switch to home shit by moving one cable from work laptop to PC, since my laptop is too slow to run my poorly optimized game code :(

got myself a trackball with scroll ring, currently using both my old mouse and the trackball, taking some getting used to but it's pretty neat AND easy on the wrist.

love how you can pop the ball out and it's like those ancient mouses before they lasered them all up, takes me back chomsky-yes-honey

tfw to ask someone out you actually have to ask them out instead of thinking about it a bunch and hoping it happens

[โ€“] EstraDoll@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

idk, weird visions sound like a once in a transition sort of thing and idk if theirs would be one that says "you should ask estradoll out". i'd be immensely flattered if that were the case though

I think I should stick to less supernatural means of acquiring a GF

[โ€“] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm generally feeling good but someone said something and it's stuck in my mind, siI was thinking about voice training and how hard it is (common thought for me, try to push it out if I can) and remembered an adult the other day telling me life is hard and gets harder. And every time one of them tells me this it just makes me think suicide is my only option. I'm so fucking done with hardness and suffering. Totally fine if you want to push through it, it's not worth it to me. I've already told this person about wanting to kill myself, idk why people tell me it's going to get harder. I will kill myself instead. Fuck things getting worse. Fuck that so much.
In good news, I got breath of the wild working last night. Stupid fuckin amd drivers. Hoping to get shaders working later. Even just upscaled though, botw is such a pretty game. Just imagine if it came out on PC, how much more they could have pushed it. Nintendo always does a good job with their art style and making their games look good despite hardware limitations but it'd still be better without them.

One more thought, was very tired yesterday from work. But (cis, nt, straight?? Idk which is actually responsible for this) women do this thing where they compare their exes new gf to them physically and I don't understand. This coworker was telling us about how much fatter and less attractive his new gf was and how he "downgraded". Like- simplisticly this seems like the kind of crude, shallow comments about women I'd expect to hear from men?? And like I know this is a thing, she's not the first woman to have a conversation like this with me.

Like to me being in a relationship with someone would be because I like them as a person, in a romantic way, we get along well etc. And this guy sucked anyway (cheated and would denigrate her), good riddance. But why are you trash talking the new gfs appearance? Idk why we have to do this.. I don't want to take part in shit talking some random woman.

I mean I guess maybe it's a way to say the ex made a mistake by leaving. But ๐Ÿคท girl I already knew he fucked up.

siYea holy shit I'd rather kms then do this

The mood when I talk to people is like those mobile game ads where the person playing get some of the choices right while while struggling. Who's ever watching me is probably banging and yelling at how someone can fumble so bad and they can do better.

I had no rye bread so i ate my herring with dill and butter on a tortilla, and it was very dissapointing. Not bad, just dissapointing.
