Thinking Inside The Box
Ben may have understood the allure of "Snakes on a Plane" before I did, he may have created this amazing movie-theater prop:
...and he came up with rules for watching the movie that are extremely helpful.
HOWEVER.
...he didn't do what I did. I bought this book:
...and I sat in the theater for twenty minutes, doing them, explaining what the book was all about to anyone who expressed curiosity/interest/disdain/snickering-amusement. Why did I buy this book (for 7 bucks from B&N)? Why did I pull out a pencil and start filling in numbers to prepare myself for the viewing experience of the decade?

I'VE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKING SNAKES
ON MY MOTHERFUCKING SUDOKU!
What a marketing device. Perfect in its simplicity, insidious in its understanding of the public's fervor, snakes on a sudoku make those bright green spoons and straws that McDonalds put out when "Flubber" was released look like a guy in a hot dog suit on the corner. (I'll wait while you parse that last sentence. ... We okay? Good.)

For Pirates of the Caribbean fans, The Pieces Of Eight Sudoku
Solve the same way you would a normal sudoku, only, there's only 8 squares per row/column/treasure chest.
"Anybody want a jigsaw puzzle?" It's jigsawdoku!
Looking for something a little easier? Try a variation whose name is pronounced Denum Bers Sta Irs Tep Su Doku:
Speaking of easier, I bought a book called Su Doku For Dummies. But it's lying. You want Su Doku For Dummies? I'll give you Su Doku For Dummies:

For those who don't like numbers or logic, but who love the patterns of sudoku, try Simon Sudoku!
For those who love math but don't feel like sudoku provides enough of it, there's also Magic Square Sudoku
...where the numbers in each row and column also add up to 45!
After all that, we need a cool-down. So try this classic Zen Su Doku:
