Monster Sudoku (051112)

Here we go again, another toughest-of-the-week Monster Sudoku. Easier puzzles appear here on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

The rules of Monster Sudoku: The puzzle board consists of a 16 by 16 grid, which is further divided up into sixteen 4 by 4 blocks. In each row, column, and 4x4 block, the letters A through P each get written exactly once. There is only one solution. If the letters are a little too small for you, click on the image to bring up a large version. 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 in pen if you're feeling bold), 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. Go ahead, I dare ya. After all, you could be doing laundry or something instead, and isn't this a better use of your time? I will be posting the solution in a day or two.

Update: the solution is here.
