SUDOKU

Well it took me four months, but I finally completed the Sudoku puzzle I started in November. And what a “thrill of success” I felt when I finished it. No doubt you might wonder, “How does it take someone such a long time to solve just one puzzle?” Let me explain. To begin with, although my Sudoku skill only ranks as average, I don’t attempt the “average” Sudoku puzzles. In fact, I work on the very hardest, as I only subscribe to the Sunday newspaper which contains the most difficult puzzle of the whole week.

As a result, I make a lot of mistakes. Furthermore, because I am a very persistent person I refuse to start a new puzzle until I successfully complete the one I’m working on -- without looking at the answer. That being the case, I constantly have to start over and over until I get it right. And finally, I usually don’t spend much time on the puzzles. More often than not, I only work on the copy I keep in my purse while waiting in the doctor’s office, etc. Thus, it always take me quite a while to complete a single Sudoku puzzle. But this is the very first time it has taken me as long as four months.
