The media & news papers are adding these mazes/quizes in their papers & magazines,
may for the purpose of marketing.
They even add articles to promote this addiction as, Sudoku & crosswords are a great way to keep the brain young and agile.
I don't feel this is true as is said here.
This addiction kills the time and in no way does the brain young or agile at all,
I would rather say it makes the young boys tired & exhausted.
What's your opinion?

I personally agree with the media people
regarding this Sudoku & crosswords issue.
Definatly the memory sharpens
by these kind of sports.
And cross words add new words to your vocabulary.
Why you are saying this is a time killing game
and makes anybody exhausted?
you must rethink on
what you have said it here.

Like anything else the brain must be exercised. These puzzles do help with this. They keep the brain stimulated and active. If you don't use it, you lose it. How much have you forgotten from all that you learned in school? How many times have you tried to recall how to do something that you used to be proficient at but could no longer do? You have to keep that brain busy. Sudoku as well as logic problems force a person to think and look at things logically. How can this be a bad thing? If more people applied logic to their decisions, there would be a lot less problems in this world.
