<h2>Sudoku</h2>
<p>Thinking about numbers has a proven effect on the ability to remember things. You probably haven&rsquo;t thought about it before, but when you didn&rsquo;t have a mobile phone to remember all of your contacts for you, how many numbers could you recall in your mind? Sudoku has gained a huge following for its ability to improve people&rsquo;s memory and problem solve.</p>
<p>There are several versions vailable on iPhone and Android.</p>
