09 September 2020 - Plague Journal Day 180

Micah 6:8
Psalm 49:1-4
Yes, your life matters.

We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?

Today is International Sudoku Day. Who knew there was such a thing? (As noted before, there seems to be a day to celebrate pretty much anything one can imagine, so I should not be surprised.)
It's a pretty fun game, really; pretty much a logic problem in a prescribed format. By adding or removing the seed numbers, the puzzles can be made easier or harder.
I don't remember how I came across this (probably YouTube just suggested it based on something else I had viewed), but here is a video of a really cool sudoku puzzle. "Wait, how can a sudoku puzzle be cool?" I hear you ask. Well, in this case there are added restrictions and rules: Normal sudoku rules apply. In addition, both marked diagonals must also contain the digits 1 to 9. Cells that are a knight's move apart (in chess) cannot contain the same digit. The central 3x3 box must form a magic square.

Today is also Wonderful Weirdos Day. Feel free to celebrate by expressing your inner weirdo. Another way would be enjoying this video. Those weirdos were pretty wonderful.
