The puzzles in Number Place are conceived by Japan's greatest puzzler mind, Tetsuya Nishio, who takes extreme pleasure in hand-creating his puzzles. His latest series provides 101 Sudoku puzzles, plus a handful of logic puzzles and mazes. Now, after readers have completed their Sudoku puzzles, they can test out a whole new line of Nishio-created torture! These pocket-sized collections are the perfect companion for the on-the-go puzzler.
According to The Times of London, "Tetsuya Nishio is the undisputed grand 'puzzle master' of Sudoku- a bespectacled fiend from the darkest suburbs of Tokyo who spends his every waking hour devising abominable new ways to torture our brain cells. His only weapon is logic, but, in his own words, 'It is a knife that kills.' His commitment to deviousness is absolute." Nishio is a world champion of number-logic puzzles. He reigns as the single-most important figure in Sudoku in Japan. He invented O'Ekaki (Paint by Sudoku) puzzles in the late 1980s, which are steadily becoming as popular as Sudoku. He is also the chairman of the Japan Puzzle Team at the annual World Puzzle Championships. At the 2007 World Puzzle Championship, Nishio placed fourth amongst the greatest Sudoku puzzlers in the world!
