Marwa Al Wadhahi, 19, took just 12 minutes to complete a very complex puzzle created by former Sudoku world champion, Thomas Snyder, at Oman’s first-ever Sudoku challenge organised by Black and White magazine. Marwa, who competed against eight other Sudoku wizards at the final of the first ‘You Play Sudoku’ contest, was a clear winner as she topped the competition at all stages.

The event brought the spotlight not only on Sudoku in Oman, but also raised much needed awareness on autism in Oman, thanks to the presence of the American autistic savant, George Widener. Marwa won some exciting prizes, including an ORIS Limited Edition watch, a Samsung 40-inch TV, netbook, a voucher for overnight stay for two at Al Nahda Resort & Spa, one KIMS care card from KIMs Oman hospital and gift voucher from Staedler. Kalpana, Madhvi and other finalists also won gifts.

The British influences are apparent in the inclusion of a cricket pitch, football pitch and an English style pub that hosts quiz nights. The hotel also has one of the best gyms in Oman. This luxury hotel’s intercontinental appeal shows in its four restaurants that serve cuisines originating from Asia, England, Mexico and the Mediterranean.

As well as a children’s pool, and one with channels that circle beneath small bridges, there’s also a covered pool for the serious business of swimming lengths.
