Description	It's so easy for us Homo Sapiens to sit here with our ten fingers and our decimal numbering system to forget about the infinite number of alternative possibilites. Think of the truly fun games we could play if we just take our base-10 blinkers off for a minute and expand our thinking a little. This is a nice one for hackers, machine code purists and people who insist on using the BIN command in their speccy programs. Yes, the true language of computing - binary is employed in this variant of the much loved Sudoku game. But the question is, can you solve the puzzle faster than a ZX80? Also, did you know there are actually 10 types of people in the world? Those who understand ternary, those who don't and those who confuse it with binary. Make sure you aren't one of them if you want to master this title.
Comments	The first of a three game assault on the compo by SB?- likeable for its geek appeal. You can possibly guess what's coming on starting the game, but still the fact that someone actually wrote it will impel you to play the game through to its logical conclusion provided you literally have two seconds to spare. Handy for completing on the short tube journey between Leicester Square and Covent Garden (250 yards). Good for a short laugh of course. But after that, the first three letters of the game name?describe exactly what you should do with it. Stop the press: Obviously this game had some influence on me, since I submitted the even worse UnDoko to CSSCGC 2009 - do you realise what you've started with this?
