These things are driving me insane!! In a good way, I think....

I started playing them when they came out in the Times and I was so pleased to find this program.

Anyway - first Time Trial - I completed them in 69 minutes, 51 seconds.

Great idea - let's have Hard ones in the next Trial

carlamity I'm having the same problem, what did you do to open the book?

2 hours and 4 seconds - red flags off. Not too shabby! Bizzarely I got stuck on #7, had a spot of number blindness lol - took me 24 mins for that one, should have been 10 or so really!

I'm working on these to and from work (before I get my paper and after I solve the daily). Okay, it's been 5 days and I'm hooked on Sudoku.

I'm gonna be ashamed to post my time when I finish. I'm only 4 puzzles in and clocking in at under 3 hours doesn't seem a possibility.

56:56 for me. Quite chuffed with that. Not doing 'em again, can't see the point. The time'll be faster won't it?

To be more serious, I know I'm pretty fast, mainly coz I don't trawl the net looking for impossipuzzles to throw fish at, I merely concentrate on getting really quick at Pappocom's own H's and VH's. As such, I'm somewhat sceptical about the 35 minute claim. Unless it's Brent Spiner.

1:08:23 for me, no red numbers.

WOW!!!

I just had a go and the first puzzle came out at 9m10s

How do you do them so fast?

EDIT: Can't even finish the last which is medium

I'm not as fast as some of you.

I got:
V.Easy - 3:52 , 3:17 ,
Easy - 7:10 , 6:45 , 8:01 ,
Medium - 9:27 , 9:24 , 10:03 , 6:56 , 7:39
Totals to 72:34, which is strangely enough, the same as my best half marathon time, but I'm not so tired afterwards.

A harder set would be good, if anyone knows where to download other libraries.

The Library book contains 10 puzzles: 2 Very Easy, 3 Easy and 5 Medium.

Library books can be used only with the Sudoku program from Pappocom. Read about the program at www.sudoku.com/program.htm or download it from www.sudoku.com/download.htm

the link for the "library books" no longer works
