Can you do Sudoku?

The housemates took a break from their weekly task to concentrate on a daily one; and this required using their heads, literally and figuratively.

They were paired up and sent to the activity area, where they found six giant Sudoku puzzles, giant pencils, giant cans of ink, and helmets with paintbrushes strapped on the top. Gee-Ann couldn’t help but jump in excitement when she saw these, because it turns out solving these was a habit of hers; and her partner Mickey smiled as well.

The task, which was titled ‘Can You Do Sudoku?’, required the housemates to solve these puzzles in the shortest time. The mat had six 3x3 squares, forming a large 9x9 one. They were to fill in the missing numbers; 1 to 9 in each small square, and 1 to 9 across in the big one, without repeating. There was a twist, though; one of them would have to wear the helmet, while the other would lift her up bodily, dip the brush in ink, and use her as a human quill to write the appropriate number. Three pairs would earn first, second, and third place, respectively; as well as a yet-to-be-announced reward.

The housemates quickly got to work. Mickey quickly lifted up Gee-Ann, and was about to dip her head in the ink when Big Brother pointed out what the pencils were for; they can use it to solve the puzzle first, then mark it with the ink. Gee-Ann was clearly the brains as she quickly figured out the puzzle… and marked it clearly with her head! Their teamwork made them the first to solve the puzzle.

How will the others fare? Who will rightfully earn second and third place, and which pairs will end up with nothing but ink on their faces? Stay tuned!
