The Times Mind Games: The Times Bumper Book Of Su Doku: 20th Anniversary Edition, 300 Puzzles Selected By Puzzle Master Wayne Gould

During a visit to Japan, Wayne was in a bookstore where, not knowing how to read or speak Japanese, he was drawn to the puzzle which he first thought was a crossword. He was intrigued and later on he decided to take it with him to the United States and Britain. After his initial retirement, in efforts to pass time and sharpen his computer skills, Gould developed a computer program that generates Su Doku puzzles.

The rest is history, Su Doku became a massive hit in the UK and continues to challenge minds to this day with The Times at the forefront of Su Doku publishing in print and online.
