Greetings Fellow Puzzlers!
I thought I'd get caught up with you. I'm still plowing through the "Beware! Very Challenging" puzzles by Will Shortz. Some aren't so challenging. Either that or I'm getting better at this.(What do you think?) Hey, I am curious: how many of you like to time yourself solving a sudoku puzzle? Do you try to beat your best time? Let me know!
