It took me a while to get into it - and to get up to speed (puzzles that are supposed to take 10 min took me most of an hour) - but I like it - as long as I'm able to relax with it. It's harder if I'm trying to fly the coop though.

It is amazing sometimes how a "weird" and "socially inept" kid like me can get people hooked on something I love to do.

My book of Sudoku puzzles caught the attention of the Alpha-Male (read: most popular associate) at work, and now, six months and a lot of trying conversations later, practically everyone plays these in the breakroom. (In fact, a memo was passed around because mismanagement figured people were spending too much time in the back instead of on the floor helping customers.)

The fastest I've ever solved a puzzle was 4 minutes and 35 seconds, while the longest was a little over 3 hours. In my defense, that was a new 16x16 grid with the numbers 1-9 AND the letters A-G. (It takes time to switch the brain into a new pattern of thinking.)

I have yet to try Killer Sudoku.
