A girl, who first started solving Sudoku with her grandfather and father last year, has bagged the silver medal at the inaugural Qianán Water City Cup 2015 World Junior Sudoku Championship held at Beijing, China, recently.

Aditi Sheshadri, a student of Delhi Public School (Bangalore North), says that her interest grew during the school rounds of the Sudoku Champs. “It was a pleasant experience to win the Bengaluru round and get selected for the Indian Under-18 team for the World Junior Sudoku Championship in Beijing,” she says.

Apart from Aditi, the team comprised Shristi Kejriwal (Mahadevi Birla World Academy, Kolkata) and S. Pranav Kamesh (Maharishi Vidya Mandir).

The team won the silver medal while Aditi finished ninth in the individual U-18 category. She was also part of a record-breaking event for the largest multi-Sudoku puzzle consisting of 200 standard grids achieved by Beijing Sudoku Association (China), in which 200 participants from 10 countries took part. She received a certificate of participation from the Guinness World Records in the Officially Amazing category.
