Strimko Puzzles

My friend Peter Grabarchuk and his family are launching a new logic puzzle idea called "Strimko" (based on Latin squares originated by Leonhard Euler).

Have a go here: http://www.strimko.com/play/strimko001/play.htm

Re: Strimko Puzzles

Interesting twist on Sudokus.
I managed to play one Easy one, but then my computer froze up and it gave me the "a script is causing your computer to run slowly. Abort?" message.

Still, I'd play more if I could.


Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.
