joe-ks.com Tribute to the 2006 Torino Winter Olympics - the Olympic Rings Sudoku Puzzle
| The Olympic Rings were adopted by Baron Pierre de Coubertin (founder of the modern Olympic Movement) in 1913 after he saw a similar design on an artifact from ancient Greece. The five rings represent the five major regions of the world: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. Every national flag in the world includes at least one of the five colours, which are (from left to right) blue, yellow, black, green, and red. | ||||||||||||||||||
