Well, it's Thursday again, so time for another tough sudoku. This one took me 28 minutes to solve, see if you can do it faster. The winner of the Tuesday sudoku is Anonymous, with a time of 43 minutes.That Anonymous guy sure gets around; I see him commenting everywhere. Does he do nothing but surf the net all day? ...but I digress...
The rules of sudoku: The puzzle board consists of a 9 by 9 grid, which is further divided up into nine 3 by 3 blocks. In each row, column, and 3x3 block, the numbers 1 through 9 each get written exactly once. The puzzle board generally starts with 18 to 30 of the cells in the grid already filled in. For those who need help, a short tutorial on how to solve sudoku puzzles can be found here.
To solve this puzzle, I suggest first saving the GIF on your computer. Then print it out and solve it in pencil, or if you don't feel like using paper, then solve it using a graphics editor such as Microsoft Paint.
If you solve this puzzle, time yourself and put your time in the comments. I will be posting the solution in a day or two. The winner receives a prize: Jeff Goldstein's famous barbequed armadillo recipe.
Update: the solution is here. And now for the armadillo recipe: barbeque it just like you would barbeque a pig. A pig with an armored back. And leprosy.
