The Original Sudoku Page-A-Day Calendar 2009 (Page a Day Fun & Games Calendr) publisher: 2009 Calendars released: 2008-06-15 ISBN: 0761149929 $10.39

The Original Sudoku Calendar is on the up-and-up. Because these puzzles, printed in lively full color, are simply the best you'll find anywhere. From Nikoli, the Japanese publisher that invented Sudoku, they are completely handmade—which means every puzzle is like a mind game between you and its creator. Nikoli's grids have an elegance that computer-generated puzzles don't; they strike the perfect balance of challenge and solvability. The calendar features easy puzzles each weekend, with progressively more difficult ones over the course of the week.

Nice colorfull layout easy to work with, self contained. The levels are not that difficult just enough to keep the fun in it.

Second year with sudoku page-a-day calendar. Absolutely love it. I do it every day--even bought one for a friend. Well worth the price.

Identical at first glance—yet anything but. Take two pictures of a Fourth of July parade. At first glance, they're the same. At second glance, not at all! A girl's shirt has changed color, and where exactly did the stars on that flag go? Adapted from the New York Times bestselling series LIFE Picture Puzzles, this addictive calendar is fun for the entire family.

Each day features two seemingly indistinguishable full-color photographs. But they contain subtle discrepancies that it's your job to spot. Puzzles are organized according to difficulty, and include solutions on the backs of pages.
