Su Doku children make light work of 'fiendish' grids
Geographical remoteness proved no obstacle for child competitors at the first Times National Su Doku Championships on Sunday.
One contestant cut short a school trip to Venice to travel to Cheltenham, while another undertook an eight-hour journey from his home in Aberdeen.
Many of the 85 children, aged 6 to 16, who took part in the competition at Cheltenham Ladies' College also accused the judges of setting puzzles that were too easy.
The 12-16 age group sat a difficult grid, while the younger children were given a moderate one. Most were disappointed at not being faced with the challenge of a fiendish grid.
Francesca Nichol, 15, from Glastonbury, Somerset, who came second in the 12-16 age group, spoke for them all when she said: "It was too easy, far too easy. You must make it harder next time."
