LosMediasBlancas Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Anyone seen this or tried it before? It's in the Sun Times every day except Sundays and I'm hooked. It doesn't require math or number skills, really. Give it a shot and tell me what you think. http://www.suntimes.com/sudoku/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalls2598 Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Ah yes, I have also become addicted to Sudoku. I found today's puzzle easier than yesterday's, altough the Sun Times claims the puzzles get harder as the week progresses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 This is SO addictive. I've been playing for a month or so and wind up staying up into the wee hours trying to solve it! www.sudoku.org is a great site, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 I've gotten pretty good at it actually. Anyone care to share their solving secrets or strategy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 http://www.websudoku.com/ there's a great online website i'm still pretty bad, it takes me about 15 minutes for the easy ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx for the link. I've read a few good suggestions on the websites listed. I'm proud to say I nailed today's "diabolical" in the LA TIMES in about 20 minutes, a record for me.

CubsSuck1 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I saw an ad for it in the the Sun times, but I had no clue what to do. Looked for directions...none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked for directions...none. Same, the Suntimes just says go to our new hit puzzle. Then they don't tell you what to do. Confusing indeed.

LosMediasBlancas Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 That's wierd, for the 1st week or so, they gave you all the instructions on what the goal of the puzzle is. Try the web sites, they should have the rules. If you need still help, PM me, I'll explain it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tough ones still kick my ass, but I can't stop playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Controlled Chaos Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I've done about 10 of them....you definitely get better the more ya do. I have never finished a Friday or Saturday one yet, but I breezed through Monday -Thursday last week...which was my first week doing them every day.
