By now, everyone knows about Sudoku, but what about Kakuro and Spidoku? Kakuro involves fitting numbers into rows and columns, each of which must add up to a different specified total.

Here you have to insert the numbers one to eight into the rings and segments of a shape like a spider’s web, without repeating any digit. You can find them all in a paperback called Kidoku.
