New Word Sudoku (Qudoku!) Puzzle for Sunday, 2/21/2010

Calligraphy courtesy of the Chinese Calligraphy Store. The Web site graciously offers the Chinese Zodiac symbols free.

I’m forgoing today’s usual Sunday Challenge 12x12 Hidden Word Sudoku Puzzle to continue our study of the Chinese Zodiac. Every day until near the end of the month I’m presenting a Qudoku puzzle set spelling out the characteristics of those born in the year of one of the 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac. Today’s animal is linked to those born in 1956—and to those who will be born in 2016.
