Here goes. This looks like fun.

This file contains the weekly Sudoku puzzles from
www.Sudoku-xls.com as a standardised text file.
This format can be used when the graphics version is unreadable.
It may also prove useful when used by the blind or visually impaired
in combination with a speech synthesiser.
The layout of the classic Sudoku puzzles and the Sudoku Mini-sam
should be pretty self evident. The one which may need some clarification
is the Sudoku Tanto puzzle.
To solve a Sudoku Tanto puzzle you need to complete the
grid so that all the numbers 1-9 appear in every row of 9
column of 9 and box of 9. Additionally, in the standardised format,
the missing even numbers (2,4,6 & 8) are indicated by a plus sign "+"
and the missing odd numbers by a minus sign "-".
A Sudoku mini-sam comprises of 2 overlapping Sudoku 6 puzzles.
It should be completed so that, for each of the 2 overlapping
puzzles, all the numbers 1-6 appear in every row of 6, column of 6
and box of 6.
Any comments or questions should be addressed to the Sudoku-xls
