A puzzle invented by an American but popularized by the Japanese.
The puzzle consists of a 9x9 grid which is partitioned into nine 3x3 boxes. Typically, 20 to 25 of the 81 cells are pre-filled with one numerical digit. The objective is to fill the remaining cells such that each digit (1 through 9) is represented in every row, column and box.
Easy to moderate puzzles can be solved via simple elimination.
More difficult puzzles require some "what if" propositions to solve.
Solving Sudoku by hand is a routine diversion but writing a program to solve or create Sudoku puzzles is a more interesting challenge.

I got a Sudoku book for Christmas and wrote a program that could solve any of the puzzles in under a second.

Get the sudoku mug.Dance dogs perform while trapping a cherished item in its jaws. Made famous by the great Labrador Retriever, Grogan’s Majestic Marley of Churchill, the dance is characterized by a quivering body and a side-to-side bobbing of the head.
The dance’s intent is to alert owners to the fact that a valuable item is being held captive and to entice them into an attempt at retrieval.

I was wondering where I had placed my wristwatch when I witnessed my beloved Mastiff doing the Marley Mambo

Get the 404 mug.Programming language developed by Microsoft whose syntax is very similar to C++, is completely object-oriented and allows fast development.
Contrary to what many believe, C# is NOT proprietary...Java is actually proprietary. However, because Microsoft still dominates its direction, it may be considered to be "semi-de facto" proprietary at this stage.
C# traded off some runtime speed for safety and quick development. More optimized compilers in the near future may reduce this speed disadvantage while retaining the advantages.
Holistically, C# is perhaps the best programming language in existence.
