Here is a puzzle with a twist – a sudoku made out of the twelve-tone scale. If normal sudoku puzzles are a breeze, give this tricky musical twist a try.

Dominik Göbel, a Church musician at Svenska kyrkan Falköping, Sweden, has designed the ultimate musical puzzle. He has turned a normal 9x9 sudoku into a challenging 12x12 twelve-tone musical sudoku. The same principles apply as a normal sudoku, with the added challenge of dealing with musical notes.
