Israel's top circulated paper launches daily section with Conceptis puzzles

Friday, January 11, 2008

Israel's most widely circulated paper Yedioth Ahronoth launched a new daily section dedicated to Conceptis puzzles. With two or three puzzles offered each day, Yedioth readers can now solve a wide range of puzzles including Samurai Multi Sudoku, Sum Sudoku, Kakuro, Pic-a-Pix, and Hashi.

"Yedioth wanted to offer something new and different", says Dave Green, president of Conceptis. "There are so many wonderful Sudoku variants and other logic puzzles around the world still unknown to the Israeli public and Yedioth decided to be the first to publish them in Israel".

Founded in 1939, privately owned Yedioth Ahronoth (Hebrew: ידיעות אחרונות‎, meaning "latest news") is the most widely circulated Hebrew daily newspaper in Israel since the 1970s. The newspaper is owned by the Yedioth Ahronoth Group, which is also a shareholder in Hot, the Cable TV company; Yedioth Tikshoret, a group of weekly local newspapers; Vesti, a Russian language newspaper and several other Israeli companies. Yedioth Ahronoth Group is also the owner of ynet.co.il, Israel's leading news portal and its English sibling ynetnews.com.
