    grabbed the outter corners of each eyes and pulled and stretched downwards to give himself squinty eyes and because the ones that go down are japanesese and the ones that go up are chinese or sometimes taiwanese and he made funny noises with his mouth and we had a fight

    If I cheat with my calc :
    Congratulations! You solved the Sudoku in 3 minutes, 16 seconds!

    And then there is Death

    That site you linked to gives broken puzzles. More than one solution is sometimes possible, but it only accepts one of them as the proper solution. See attachments. Easy puzzle 3,077,057,385.

    the second one there isn't valid Unne; you can't have the same number twice in one of the nine 3x3 squares

    I love Sudoku. Really fun stuff! And actually, once you figure out the method, it's pretty easy, depending on how many numbers they give you. The less you get, the harder it is, but the basic strategy applies throughout.
    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D

    Ah, it probably helps if you read the directions, huh. That sure makes it easier to solve too.

    My best time on easy was 7 min 12 secs - the only time I was better than average. I consistently get around 8-9 mins.

    My best time on medium was an appalling 20 minutes, even when using the most robust method (mark every possibility for every value, then eliminate based on logic). It could be because I'm tired and sleepy, though.

    My suitemate is our class's top math major - he does "evil" for fun.

    My roommate is a CS major who is trying to write a solver.

    This game is too addicting.

    My best is 3 minutes 11 seconds for an easy one. Clearly my sudoku-penis is bigger than all of yours; however my reading-the-directions-penis is small and insignificant, so they kind of cancel each other out. And now I'm going to have to write a solver too.
