MUSCAT — A 19-year-old girl has become the sultanate’s first-ever Sudoku champion. Marwa Al Wadhahi took just 12 minutes to complete a very complex puzzle created by former Sudoku world champion, Thomas Snyder, at Oman’s first-ever Sudoku challenge organised by the Black & White magazine.
Marwa, who competed against eight other Sudoku wizards at the final of the first-ever Black & White ‘You Play Sudoku Open to All Competition – 2010’, held at the Oman Auditorium of Al Bustan Palace hotel, was a clear winner as she topped the competition at all stages. The two runners up were Kalpana D’Silva and Madhvi Kumar.
Marwa won some exciting prizes and the event brought the spotlight not only on Sudoku in Oman, but also raised a much-needed awareness on autism in the country, thanks to the presence of the American autistic savant, George Widener. Black & White magazine raised RO5,000 for the cause of autism in the sultanate.
