This book, in two parts, Why and How, is a result of fifty years of
a variety of educational efforts. This book explains, in studied
detail, why solo Sudoku is a potentially powerful training tool to
impact the cognitive skills of most of humanity. Training pure
logical thinking capabilities, known as fluid intelligence, can
give children mental advantages that produce better decision making
and problem solving that come from optimal management of
information. Repeating logical problem solving about 50 times each
puzzle trains logical thinking. Sudoku makes clear the need for
relevant information, accuracy, sufficient information and a
variety of patterns, all of which lead to our best results when
encountering all mental challenges. Sudoku appeals to anyone who
can count to nine. Sudoku is immune to any differences of religion,
language, politics, nationality, race. ethnicity, age or gender.
Sudoku is very practical, being cheap, requiring no technology, and
can be done anywhere any time, requiring only a pencil and a flat
place to write. When done in teams, Sudoku is beneficial in
developing social skills such as communication, collaboration,
cooperation and leadership. Written primarily for educators, this
book is also applicable in prisons, hospitals and senior living
communities, where self-esteem, independent thinking and boredom
can be influenced.

goal of the game is to collect four cards that form one optical
illusion. The player who collects the most optical illusions wins
the game. The optical illusions in this game were selected by Paul
