Stimulation for Your Brain

Just like a good Sudoku puzzle, reading The Maple Valley & Covington Reporter is great stimulation for your brain. Bringing you all the local news, sports and events each week, we strive to keep you informed. Our entire staff takes pride in what we do.

For a little extracurricular brain stimulation, we converted our staff into a basic Sudoku Puzzle.

This Sudoku Puzzle is formatted as a 6 grid, broken down into six 3x2 boxes.

To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 6 must fill each row, column and box. We have substituted a staff member for a number. The number/face key is to the left of the puzzle. Each person can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the people will appear by using the face clues already provided in the boxes.

If you get stumped, the answers are upside down on this page.
