No problem and if you have any time left over after playing sudoku be
sure to check out Bejewelled or Bejewelled 2. Totally addicting 🙂 If
you plan it right between cooking, posting here, and those two games you
should have no time for sleeping or working. Work is over rated anyway 😉

Happily, numbers and I don't get along, but I feel your pain nonetheless.
Ask me about the wasted hours/days/years I've spent with the NYTimes
crossword puzzle . . .

It's pitiful.

Pop Pop (on Mom's side) was an avid NY Times Sunday crossword puzzle
expert. He was so conceited, he used a pen. And he'd finish between 15-20
minutes, never an error.

I musta been upside slapped silly or dropped by my older brother a couple
times back in my youth, cause I ain't never had a lick o' sense much as
far as I been told, even to this day.

You don't need to be good with numbers to do well at sudoku, as far as I
can tell. I just downloaded a version yesterday for my Mac, and I only
played it for a few minutes. The numbers are simply symbols; they could
be any set of symbols; as the concept is the same. No mathematics
ability at all is needed for Sudoku.

Whoa, I guess I mistakenly inferred that math ability was necessary; so
Sudoku is more about pattern recognition??

Perhaps I'm better off not pursuing it, though. I've too many obsessions as
it is!

I've only taken a peek at the site, but the most obvious statement on
it is that no mathematics are involved. It's simple reasoning skills.

Thanks for the suppor; having finally weaned myself off Tetris, I'm loathe
to go near another time-consuming diversion. Can't stay away from that
bloody crossword puzzle, however, more's the pity!

Ahem! You could always consider crossword puzzles as mental health
exercises. I am of the opinion that the brain needs exercise just like
our heart, lungs, and muscles do.

"It" being what, Andy??

And Stan, for all my grousing, I am indeed in agreement: doing crosswords
works my ol' brain quite nicely, and I plan to keep at it for years to come.
