J’ai donc contacté Tetsuya Miyamoto, l’inventeur du KenKen, pour lui demander s’il voulait être un de nos sponsors tous les mois, en nous donnant quelques KenKen. Pour notre plus grand plaisir, il a accepté de nous en donner deux par mois, un niveau medium et un plus difficile.

  As president and founder of thirty-year-old Nextoy, LLC, Fuhrer often traveled abroad to spot new ideas and products ripe for export. During one of his frequent trips to Japan, he was intrigued by a popular puzzle called Kashikoku Naru (translated loosely as, the puzzle that makes you smarter) that was invented by a math teacher.
