This is the first National Sudoku Championship in the US and prizes will range from $100 to $10,000, which goes to the winner along with a trip to the World Championships next year in India.

Jana Tyvola from the Czech Republic pulled out an upset win in the World Sudoku Championship by beating out Wei-Hwa Huang who has multiple World Puzzle Championship titles under his belt. The London Times printed the final puzzle giving readers the chance to try their times against the winning time of 15 minutes. I was able to complete the puzzle but, needless to say, it took me a good deal longer than 15 minutes. I’ll include a link to it so you can take a shot.
