Ponturu!
There's a type of Japanese puzzle I just ran across called Ponturu. It's a set of circles with numbers in them, and you click circles horizontally or vertically to draw a link between them. Two circles can have 0, 1 or 2 links between them. To win, every circle has to have the same number of links to other circles as the number in the circle. A circle with a 4 has four links to other circles. I've never been bitten by the sudoku bug, but these are cool!

I actually managed to finish *one* correctly!
I need a nap now.
Sheesh...
LOL I'm sorry.
It gets easier as you keep going. I figured out some tricks to solving them, based on how many neighbors a node has.
An 8 node has 2 links to each neighbor.
A 7 node has at least one link to each neighbor.
A 6 node with 3 neighbors has 2 links to each neighbor.
A 5 node with 3 neighbors has at least one link to each neihbor.
A 4 node with 2 neighbors has 2 links to each neighbor.
A 3 node with 2 neighbors has at least 1 link to each neighbor.
After I've gone through and done all the easy nodes using this system, the rest of it is easier to solve. ;)
