Here's the 'challenging' Sudoku from this morning's Metro. I normally do these on the Tube in the morning, a time of day when I am not particularly awake, so I have to use some sort of system, which I will explain in today's series of posts. I've time-stamped them in reverse order so that you can read top-to-bottom.
Full series here.

Solving Sudoku puzzles made easy (part 0)

The real Soduku puzzle is why the ones in the FT are so much easier than the ones in the Telegraph.
D, the ones in the Evening Standard are absolute stinkers, I must try the FT ones for comparison.
I don't do Suduko currently as I did a few years back, but was obsessed with them at the time. They gave me pleasure and enjoyment and helped me relax.
Four, five - six postings - in a row! You may beginning to show the signs of a true addiction to pleasure and enjoyment and might become uncontrollable by those in power for your own good, if your behaviour continues left unchecked for too long.
Perhaps if you contact the government funded fake charity ASH, Anti-Suduko-Hatemongerers, they can offer help by way of substitution puzzles, such as word search or anagrams - not nearly as fun as might be Suduko but much safer and healthier, and guaranteed to fit the bill of the reason behind why all that government tax money is being spent to keep ASH alive in the first place.
It is good that taxes increase to keep the funding levels high for the good works of those who will save us from ourselves, and from the scourge of SHS - Second Hand Suduko - where passengers on the train become equally obsessed, addicted and uncontrollable, should they catch a glimpse of you bobbing your pencil back and forth while enjoying pleasure in a public venue.
Wadsworth - you definitely need to get out more.
I cannot understand why any intelligent person would get any satisfaction from a problem which is so simply solved by recursive inspection.
Try a cryptic crossword and really stretch your intellect!
There are already computer programs to solve sodU but I suggest that it will be a long time (if ever) before a computer program will be capable of solving cryptic crosswords.
I tried crosswords once. After a week I could solve the one in the Times. I reckoned that if it was so easy to learn it wasn't worth bothering with. Bowling googlies, that's worth bothering with. Or even decent leg breaks.
Did you really just write a blog on solving sudoku..?
Seriously..?
Talk about implying that your readers are retards..
And not a single mention of Caroline Flint's tits.
Not even a nipple..
Anon, I do them by force of habit as much as anything.
L, I do them on the Tube. You can't really get out of that.
GB, who said I get 'satisfaction' from it? (see above).
D, I can't do crosswords. I never saw the point.
BTS, "Did you really just write a blog on solving sudoku..?"
Well, obviously yes. The challenge isn't doing them, the challenge is explaining how to do them. And I know that a lot of people just can't finish them, however hard they try.
Familiar with a lot of Labour voters eh..?
MW Do you mean you get on the Tube to do Suduko! I repeat, you really do need to get out more.
@dearieme
I was a right-arm seamer, but I once taught myself to bowl Chinamen for fun. That was a challenge indeed.
I had a decent leg cutter, but the genuine leg break defeated me. I could turn an off break, though.
BTS, not particularly.
L, no I get on the Tube to go to work.
