Solve a Sudoku ... win a house worth £675k
A businessman and puzzle fan is offering his £675,000 home as a prize in a giant Sudoku competition.
Dave Mackie is such a fan of the Japanese numbers game he decided to giveaway his three-bedroom home - complete with a sauna and steam-room - to someone who can complete a number puzzle he has set.
The 49-year-old is selling 14,000 chances to win the stylish detached home on the Fylde coast, for £50 per time - when enough people have entered a winner will be randomly selected.
Dave says he plans to retire abroad, possibly to one of his houses in Egypt where, you guessed it ... he wants to sit on a beach with a Sudoku book.
Dave, a finance broker, said of the sale/competition: "There is no catch. I thought this was a fun way to get rid of the old house and beat the credit crunch.
"It’s going to be good financial news for someone – where else would you get a dream house for just £50!
"I’m a bit of a puzzle fanatic myself and just love my daily Sudoku tester."
If he fails to sell all 14,000 entries by February 2010 someone wins the competition fund as a cash prize.
