I am addicted to it.
I do at least one a day, usually two, often three. I do the Metro one at my desk in the morning. In the evening, on the journey to Waterloo I get the London Lite. I find the Sudokus in the London Lite practically impossible. Even the easy ones. I just can’t do them. But I still try. I also try to get The London Paper. This means I have to make a 2 second detour to the person waving it around at the top of the escalators by the concourse, and sometimes I haven’t got time. When I get The London Paper I always do the simple Sudoku without trouble. I always do the medium one without a hitch. Sometimes I attempt the hard one. I always fail.
But I am still addicted to them.
Occasionally, when I am procrastinating and not blogging (relatively rare really, I am usually blogging), I go onto the Times Online and do some of their interactive Sudokus.
It has all gotten worse today though. Now that Google appears to be back to normal (fingers, legs AND toes crossed because I was near lost without it yesterday), I have wasted a good ten minutes pissing about on the “add stuff” bit. And you know what?! YOU CAN GET SUDOKUS ON YOUR PERSONALISED HOMEPAGE PEOPLE!!!! Oh dear, this is the end for me. I will get fired.
Still, as I said before, I could be addicted to heroin… (I am not).
I do about 10 a day. http://www.websudoku.com/
I love sudoku, too! I go through phases–2 yrs. ago=total addiction; then 6 mths.=bored; then 3 mths.=total addiction. You get the picture. Now I’m obsessed yet again. Have you tried Samurai Sudoku? You really should.

Damn you people for posting up web links to Suduko.
I once did the ‘fiendish’ rated one in the times in five minutes when I was on the train. I looked at it, saw a few combinations and that was it - I was off on one then.
I got a few strange looks when I whooped upon finishing it.
Oh no Venting, I am screwed now. And you too Hollly! (Why hello there, I think this is the first time you have commented on my blog - welcome!)
Rich- hah, I whoop at finishing the simple ones. I really do get strange looks.
Meh, all these clever personages around here, and I thought I was a reasonably clever chap. I just don’t get Sudoku, I’ve tried several times. Bah.
You wicked girl! It’s taken years of avoiding the free papers to beat my addiction to Sudoko and now you’ve stirred it all up again. Those sleepless nights, pencil in hand, scratching numbers in the margins. Days send clawing 1 - 9 into the wallpaper with my nails when they took the pencils away. I thought I’d beaten it. I really did.
I have never got into Sudoko, have I missed anything Earth-shattering?
I never really got sudoko… what is it.
I don’t have the patience for sudoku at all. Plus I’m pretty rubbish at anything to do with numbers.
Never got into this puzzle. But then I suspect that some people do them on the tube (or some other public place) in a `O, look at me, and how clever I am’ type of way.
I cant even pronounce the puzzle name correctly. But then I do have quite a fat tongue.
