Even Greece owes the publication of their first Sudoku magazine to the influence of the British. It was at the Heathrow airport in 2005 that a Greek computer magazine publisher spotted a British Sudoku magazine and - realizing the potential - purchased the necessary software and quickly launched the first Greek Sudoku magazine, which became an instant sensation.

Meanwhile in the United States, the first to publish a Sudoku puzzle by Wayne Gould was The Conway Daily Sun (New Hampshire), in 2004.
