The other use for Sudoku {THX 0477's Number Challenge}

The class was silent as the teacher stared across the room at one boy. The twenty-seven pairs of eyes where either on the boy or the adult as they stared eachother down.

“Fine then, you don’t like the test I gave you, I will give you another.” The teacher said, turning to his computer and pulling up a browser. As a second thought, he stood up and turned off the projecter that was connected to the Smart Board.

“Really!?” The boy cried, jumping out of his seat and running up to the teacher’s desk.

“Did I tell you you could get up?” The teacher said, glaring at the boy.

“Uh, no.” The boy said.

The teacher smiled again as he clicked a button and the printer started up, slowly spitting out a piece of paper. The teacher grabbed it, turning to the boy saying, “Since your not good at numbers, as you said earlier, here’s your new test. Sudoku! Its either an A or F.”

The boy stared at the teacher, then the paper and back.

“But…” He said. “But I suck at this game!” He cried.

“Exactly!”
