Sudoku madness!

Having become addicted to the Sudoku puzzle after an introduction to it a couple of weeks ago, I've been playing quite a bit on Sudoku Fun, even managing to hit the fastest times scoreboards a couple of times.

Today's Independent introduced me to someone much more hardcore though; Hex-sudoku! The standard 9x9 puzzle is obviously deemed far to easy for Independent readers, so has been replaced with a turbo charged 16x16 version where every row/column/4x4 square must contain the digits 0-F.

Surely only some kind of sadistic Computer Scientist could have come up with this, can't wait for the 25x25 version which I'm sure someone somewhere will have created for those who can't get enough of the Sudoku phenomenon.
