Pretty much all of the national newspapers in England now carry sudoku puzzles, and some of the more upmarket ones were accused of dumbing-down when they introduced them.
Thankfully, there is no such danger at flanerie.org, where dumbing-up is the order of the day. Also I have no problem jumping on a bandwagon so late that it has just lapped me.
So I present the flanerie.org sudoku puzzle. The page needs a little work, but the java app is a beauty. Thanks to zentense for kind permission.

It's funny - I kept away from them at first because I thought they were boring. Coming from a software development background, I found myself being able to complete them far too easily - and it seemed like drudgery once you get so far with them.
Since then I've changed my mind though - they are a good way to pass a few minutes on the train, or the underground. They aren't that hard, so a level of "keeping your mind occupied" probably applies.
I still prefer playing chess though :)
