Aceh Sudoku


, originally uploaded by m_hagen.

Last night, after dinner, one of the teenage boys who works at the Baroqah Losmen came over to watch me sweat over my Sudoku. He seemed pretty interested so once I finished the puzzle I was working on I started teaching him how it works. He did not speak a single word of English... Pretty damn difficult to explain Sudoku in Bahasa Indonesian when I can barely order a coffee in a cafe. He had been watching me finish the last puzzle quite intensely so I set him loose on the next puzzle more or less on his own just saying,"tidak or ya", when he asked where a number should go. You wouldn't believe how excited he was when he finished it. Another Sudoku addict.
