		<description><![CDATA[<p>I hope you are staying warm during this brutal winter season!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure many of you&#8217;ve heard the news about the United States being  covered in huge piles of snow!</p>
<p>Who wouldn&#8217;t want to stay warm in weather like this?</p>
<p>Especially when the wind chill is -35 degrees below zero!!</p>
<p>But, I&#8217;m not writing to talk about my frustrations with cold weather &amp; snow.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m addressing some frustrations that many of you have who have been on my email list for years.</p>
<p>It has been a long time since I sent you any update about the activities at Crack The Sudoku Code.com</p>
<p>I know that I&#8217;ve promised some of you periodic updates on sudoku solving tips and reports on various research I was conducting about sudoku difficulty levels.</p>
<p>Instead, you&#8217;ve received a few emails about topics not even related to sudoku puzzle solving!<br />
<a href="http://www.crackthesudokucode.com"><img class="size-full wp-image-49 alignleft" title="banner_250x250" src="http://crackthesudokucode.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/banner_250x250.gif" alt="" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="250" height="250" /></a><br />
With that being said, I wanted to write this email to apologize for my failure to provide you with the latest,<br />
cutting edge news about sudoku and new solving strategies.</p>
<p>It is totally my fault and I regret not giving you the information you requested.</p>
<p>Since it&#8217;s the end of the year, and I&#8217;m in the Christmas Spirit, I am correcting every wrong deed &amp; failed commitment before 2009 begins.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve decided to provide something exciting &amp; free for all of my subscribers.</p>
<p>I am going to cut through all of the nonsense and get straight to the point.</p>
<p>However, before I do, I have to warn you that this is bitter-sweet news.</p>
<p>So please pay close attention to what I&#8217;m about to share &amp; read carefully!</p>
<p>What I have decided to propose will only be available for a select group of people, for only a short period of time.</p>
<p>Starting in 2009, I will be offering weekly step by step video training workshops on how to solve highly difficult sudoku puzzles with detailed explanations of complicated techniques and scheduled assignments.</p>
<p>I will slowly walk you through solving evil to diabolical puzzles in minutes and send you similar puzzles for the purpose of practicing the new techniques every week.</p>
<p>The sad news is that it is only available for past &amp; present customers of our Crack The Sudoku Code Home Study Course.</p>
<p>I will be limiting this special weekly training to only our 2008 &amp; earlier customers.</p>
<p>The reason for this is that I&#8217;m changing the system I use to process payments and anyone who purchased through the old system were automatically placed in a special mailing list.</p>
<p>I will be using that same mailing list to send out the weekly training videos.</p>
<p>For some odd reason, the new platform does not carry this capability, and I would have to add each customer to the mailing list manually.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t plan on doing that, since it will take too much of my time.</p>
<p>So, if you would like to join us in this special training, I am encouraging you to become a customer while you still have time!</p>
<p>The year is about to come to an end and I will not be offering this special deal and training to future customers in 2009.</p>
<p>I know that sounds unfair, but I just won&#8217;t have the system in place to do it next year.</p>
<p>So, if you want to view our Crack The Sudoku Code Home Study Video course, and join us in 2009,  click on the link below and consider becoming a customer.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.crackthesudokucode.com" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-50" title="banner_468x60" src="http://crackthesudokucode.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/banner_468x60.gif" alt="" width="468" height="60" /></a></p>
<p>Remember, you only have a few days left before 2008 comes to an end, so hurry up before it&#8217;s too late!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll see you on the other side!</p>
<p>Be Blessed and Have A Happy Holidays!<br />

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Now I know you are looking at this blog title and probably wondering what in the heck am I talking about.?  Sometimes I don&#8217;t even know what I actually mean.  Of course, I know this sounds strange, especially coming from someone who claims to be an expert in sudoku.  But that&#8217;s exactly it.  I am just an expert, not a doctor in the science of <a href="http://http://www.squidoo.com/sudokupuzzle">sudoku puzzle solving</a>.</p>
<p>With that being said, I should just get straight to the point.  Stephen Snyder, a post-doctorate student from Stanford University, has won , not his 1st, but his 2nd World Sudoku Championship.  Someone, who actually has a real doctorate degree in Genetics, has grabbed the World Sudoku Title once again.  This 2 day event was held in Goa, India on April 16th and has brought together 30 different countries to compete for the World Sudoku Championship Title.   Initially, Snyder had come into the competition ranked second behind sudoku expert Jakub Ondrousek, from the Czech Republic.  After seven rounds of individual play, Snyder obtained the highest points to still hold onto his position as the &#8221; King Of Sudoku Puzzle Solving&#8221;</p>
<p>If you would like to also become an expert on solving complex, diabolical sudoku, you should check out the <strong>Crack The Sudoku Code Home Study Course, </strong>which will hand over to you a simple blueprint on <a href="http://www.crackthesudokucode.com">how to solve sudoku puzzles</a> quickly and easily.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>As sudoku is becoming increasingly popular in the United States, many universities are adopting these number puzzles as a means to develop math and problem solving skills in college students. As ACT scores continue to decline below the national average, there will be a greater need to introduce resources and material that will help incoming college students develop math solving skills. Mathematicians believe that sudoku puzzles are a good way to help below average students with this ability.</p>
<p align="center"><img title="Sudoku as a math problem" src="http://www.crackthesudokucode.com/images/sudokumath.jpg" alt="Sudoku as a math problem" align="middle" /></p>
<p>&#8220;Sudoku can help develop math skills because players are encouraged to use logic and skill that normal math classes may not exercise,&#8221; said Tracy Roberts, who is an assistant registrar for research at Murray State. Often times, it&#8217;s not solely the math principles that students misunderstand, but it&#8217;s the logic and reasoning involved in using the math principles to solve problems that most students have a hard time doing. Some professionals believe that the solution to helping these students would be to use a tool that will get their brains thinking in a way it has never thought before. The infamous logic game called sudoku is one of the best means to do this. It is not only a number game of logic and critical reasoning, but it is also a very fun and entertaining game to play.</p>
