Binary Sudoku

[howeird]

mastersantiago posted some funny cartoons a few days ago, one of them was a cartoonist's idea of what binary sudoku would look like. It had me all ROFL. So of course I stole the idea, making it a Rumor of the Week entry at Monday's basfa meeting. The rumor was "Future issues of the Drink Tank will feature binary sudoku. There was an epidemic of lights going on over people's heads as they Got It. It is one thing I love about this group - they are sharp, especially when there's an esoteric punch line to figure out.  It would have won, except johnnyeponymous threw money at it, and since Drink Tank is his baby, and there was an equally funny rumor about him further down the list, I let it pass.

This morning at work I had some spare cycles as my test machine's database was being scrubbed, so I built the series of binary sudoko puzzles (there are 8 of them) and mailed them off for Drink Tank use. While the original idea was not mine, turning them into a legitimate-looking series of puzzles was. I'm waiting for my Best Derivative Artwork award...
