Make an appointment with yourself to solve these puzzles! If you
love sudoku, what better way to treat yourself than to set aside a
little time for one every day? Tackling the sudoku by puzzle master
Frank Longo in this day-to-day calendar will be a rewarding ritual.
The rules are simple: fill in the empty squares so that every digit
from 1 to 9 appears once (and only once) in every row, column, and
3?3 box. Answers appear on the back of the tear-off pages, and
there are day and date references on every page, as well as major
and national holidays, and combined weekend pages. On Mondays, ease
yourself into your day with easy "White Belt" puzzles; the level of
difficulty will slowly increase as the week goes on, leading up to
tricky "Black Belt" sudoku on the weekend, when you've got extra
time to take on such a challenge.

Sum-thing big is on the horizon Kakuro puzzles (also known as cross
sums) are like a combination of crosswords and sudoku: each clue in
the grid tells you the sum of the digits in its answer, and just
like sudoku, digits are never repeated within an answer. From this
simple premise, extremely challenging puzzles can be constructed,
and that’s just what Conceptis Puzzles has done for these
collections, which each contain 72 supersized kakuro, offering
massive solving pleasure for the brave souls who love tackling such

When you think of 'gambling' you might think of Vegas casinos,
betting shops and football flutters but the risk of gambling is
embedded in numerous corners of popular culture that many of us
consume. By considering the concept of 'soft gambling', No Dice
asks how we could possibly link the Pokemon Trading Card Game with
gambling. Can we compare Netflix to a night at the theatre? When
does fictional gambling within video games go too far with their
infamous loot boxes? Does such risk affect everyone or are
socio-economic divides driving further inequality? No Dice explores
the messy world of gambling and risk that we encounter regularly,
from childhood through adulthood, considering if it is worth the
risk and if we even know what risks we might be taking.

weeks to complete and Lesley commented that 'she was both a

portrayals of cats against richly textured backgrounds.
