If you have been living in Singapore’s drainage system for years and don’t know what Sudoku is. Here is Wiki’s defination.

Sudoku is a logic-based number placement puzzle. The objective is to fill a 9×9 grid so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 boxes (also called blocks or regions) contains the digits from 1 to 9 only one time each. The puzzle setter provides a partially completed grid.

Sudoku is actually invented by an American but only popularized by Japan. Luckily, it wasn’t Singapore that popularize it. Cool name like ‘Sudoku’ might have ended up being named ‘The-Singapore-game-with-81-squares-lor”.
