A friend of mine showed me a puzzle in his magazine (Geek Weekly or something I think it was..). It was a poker take on the popular Sudoku puzzle. This one isn't particularly difficult, like any simple Suduko once you've deduced one or two of the 'musts' the rest flows out quite nicely.
Anyway, thought I'd share it as I quite enjoyed cracking it, it being something new and all that.
Draw it out on paper, grab a deck or whatever - no need to post on here how to solve it, just have a go if you fancy it.
Below is the grid. At the end of each row/column is a hand ranking that must be fulfilled by you filling in the remaining cards. R.F = Royal Flush, S.F = Straight Flush, F.H = Full House, 2P = 2 Pair, 1P = 1 Pair, K = King high.
The cards you have to place are as follows:
In Hearts: 8, 9, 10, J, Q, KIn Diamonds: J, Q, K, AIn Clubs: 6, 8, 9, 10, Q, KIn Spades: 7, 10, K
| | | | | | |
| | | | Jc | As | 2P |
| | | | | | F.H |
| 10d | | | | Qs | F.H |
| | | | | | 2P |

| R.F | S.F | S.F | K | R.F | |
