I managed to run down a copy of an 1846 French gossip rag titled "Journale de Liouville" which contains the first printing of some sort of Sudoku puzzle by a bloke named 'Galois'
I think my wife has a crush on him as she's always talking about him and how clever he was (he couldn't have been that clever-he got himself shot when he was 19 or something).
Anyway I figured this might be the thing.
