		<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>
