Summary: One of the greatest mathematical prodigies of the twentieth century, Simon Norton stomps around Alexander?s basement in semidarkness, dodging between stalagmites of bus timetables and engorged plastic bags, eating tinned kippers stirred into packets of Bombay mix. Simon is exploring a theoretical puzzle so complex and critical to our understanding of the universe that it is known as the Monster. It looks like a sudoku table?except a sudoku table has nine columns of numbers. (http://www.randomhouse.com/book/108954/simon-by-alexander-masters)
