Hey Shacknews, it's time for Weekend Discussion. Let's officially close out our weekend! Please take a look.

Your daily dose of sudoku

How does a 79-cell sudoku even work? Let's find out.

Guess the pro

Can the pro guess the other pro in the room?

Okay, you got me. This title made me click.

Surely there are no benefits to smoking?

This feels like a problem straight out of science fiction

Seems like something from Three-Body Problem.

My mind doesn't comprehend how tall buildings work

I feel like the tip should snap off.

Retro game hunting

Wish there were more retro stores in Australia. PAL versions are always so expensive.

LegalEagle with another deep dive

Get your lawyer hat on.
