MIND GAMES

2015-07-24 13.09.37I enjoy doing KenKen. Like Suduko, it is a logic puzzle using numbers. The harder the puzzle, the more possible combinations there are to complete it. In KenKen there are boxes with only one possible choice, others may have two or three, and so on. A common strategy is to fill in as many knowns as possible, but their number is limited. At some point I have to take ” a leap into the void.” Just take a chance. I’m hoping the choice I make is a good one. If not, I will need to try again and perhaps again, but ultimately, I will have the gratification of a completed puzzle.

I think of this game as a bit like life. I base my daily decisions on the information I have, however, there is often the point where I will have to “leap into the void” and take my chances.
