The Training and Development Agency for Schools in the UK has started using Sudoku as a recruitment tool for math teachers. There will be a five day “roadshow” travelling around England that features a three meter Sudoku puzzle. People who solve the Sudoku will be given information on becoming a math teacher and their names will be entered into a drawing to occur that afternoon, with the winner getting 500 pounds. Now, I don’t know my currency conversions really well, but I think that’s more than the grandprize for the Sudoku Smackdown.
