Does anyone feel that was much easier than last week's one? They gave a longer suggested time, implying that it would be harder! This week's took me about 1 hour 20 minutes but last week's took me 2 hours, yet this week's puzzle 'time allowance' was 13 minutes longer?!

I found this one easier too. I put it down to the fact that I have got used to looking beyond the borders of a single grid. Last week's first attempt left me feeling seasick. The prize isn't so good this week!

Yes, I found it easier than last week, but it still took me about 90 minutes.

I missed out on buying this weeks samurai su doku...

does anyone know how i can get hold of it...it is not posted on the times online site.

I didn't complete last week's — I had too many other things to do — but it did seem easy. I think that's why the prizes aren't any big deal. The Fiendish this Saturday wasn't particularly fiendish, either: I did it in 35 minutes.

No it did seem easier, despite the interuption of my daughter

I copied it out for you, but when I previewed it before posting, it lost all the spaces I had put in and messed up the pattern completely, so I gave up. Sorry.
