Original O'Ekaki by Tetsuya Nishio
Like sudoku, O'Ekaki (Paint by Numbers) provides an entertaining test of one's logic, using a grid as its playing field. But rather than leaving the player with boxes of numbers, O'Ekaki ends with a flourish: a fun piece of art that seems to magically appear when you've correctly darkened the final square grid. And each puzzle's title is an amusing clue to the picture that will ultimately emerge. The puzzle challenge on several levels, from beginning to expert, all resulting in a sometimes elaborate picture. And every one is designed by the inventor of O'Ekaki himselfTetsuya Nishio, according to The Times of London, is the indisputable supreme 'puzzle master' of Sudoku: a bespectacled devil from Tokyo's deepest neighborhoods who spends every waking hour designing horrific new ways to abuse our brain cells. His only weapon is reasoning, but, as he puts it, it is a knife that kills. His dedication to deception is unwavering. Nishio is a number-logic puzzles world champion. In Japan, he is the single most important figure in Sudoku. In the late 1980s, he created O'Ekaki (Paint by Sudoku) puzzles, which are rapidly becoming as popular as Sudoku.
At the biennial World Puzzle Championships, he is also the chairman of the Japan Puzzle Team. Nishio finished fourth among the best Sudoku puzzlers in the world at the 2007 World Puzzle Championship!
