8 History of Sudoku Le Siècle's rival, La France, published the puzzle (195). But did not mark the sub-squares. It cannot be considered the first Sudoku L'Echo de Paris published it for about a decade but disappeared about the time of the First World War. The modern Sudoku was most likely designed anonymously by Howard Garns. First published in 1979 by Dell Magazines as Number Place (the earliest known examples of modern Sudoku). The puzzle was introduced in Japan by Nikoli in the paper Monthly Nikolist in 194 as Suuji wa dokushin ni kagiru ( ), which can be translated as "the digits must be single" or "the digits are limited to one occurrence." 5 5

9 Sudoku in Media The world's first live TV Sudoku show, Sudoku Live, was a puzzle contest first broadcast on 2005 on Sky One. Later in 2005, the BBC launched SUDO-Q, a game show that combines Sudoku with general knowledge. 5 5
