KENKEN is the hot new logic puzzle that makes
you smarter...and it's taking the world by storm! Hailed by The
New York Times puzzle
guru Will Shortz as "the most addictive puzzle since sudoku," KENKEN
is part logic, part maths, and wholly engrossing in a way that
no other puzzle on the planet is right now.
KENKEN is available
from Knight Features through an arrangement with NEXTOY, LLC.
Already
a big hit in The Times of London, where
sudoku got its start, the KENKEN phenomenon is now spreading
in the U.S. |
Created in Japan by educator Tetsuya
Miyamoto as a way to help students sharpen their thinking skills,
it is a great tool for people of all ages looking to keep their
brains nimble.
Knight Features is offering KENKEN puzzles
that consist of either a 4x4 (easy) or 6x6 (challenging) grid
of boxes divided into "cages," marked by bold outlines.
|
As in sudoku, all numbers 1 through 4 in an easy
puzzle, or 1 through 6 in a challenging one, must be used without
repetition in each row and column. The difference is that all
numbers in each cage must combine, using the denoted math operation,
to produce the target number in the top-left corner.
Nearly two million KENKEN books have already been sold internationally.
