Family's anger as council orders removal of sudoku headstone of mathematician Allan Robinson | Mail Online

Family's anger as council orders removal of sudoku headstone of mathematician Allan Robinson | Mail Online: "When retired mathematician Allan Robinson passed away after a battle with cancer, his grieving family chose an epitaph that he would have heartily approved of – a sudoku puzzle and equation.

It did not take long, however, before zealous officials on the parish council had formed their own rather bizarre opinion of the gravestone.

They ordered Mr Robinson’s widow Angela to remove the highly personal engravings because they are ‘contrary to guidelines for headstone inscriptions’."
