Wow, I really suck at these. The easy on linked to above took me 15 minutes. Are they any secret tips or strategies to solving these?

yeah I love it! I got addicted to it ever since I saw it in the paper in India. I can do the easy ones in around 5 minutes. The medium ones take like 7, and everything else takes me like 20 minutes or more. I suck at the evil and hard ones, I have to write them down otherwise I can never solve them.

I'm addicted to Sudoku in the times.

They've started doing Killer Sudoku now, which is a whole new challenge!

Are there any good sites for "Killer" Sudoku?

I registered this bad boy a little bit ago:
http://www.rosboroughtech.com/macsudoku.html

I like the interface and the fact that it keeps track of my best times and my average time for each difficulty level.

Bests...
E, 2:24
M, 5:09
H, 11:43
F, 10:24

I'm by no means a master, but I'd hardly consider myself a novice.

Dear Sir

It appears as though the "Su Doku"
puzzles, which are imported from
the orient, have, at long last, given
meaning to my utterly pointless life.
I have now found something to do
with my time that does not involve
worrying about the fate of sleeper
trains, cockle pickers, yobbery, and
making sure my letters get published
in the Times. Name and address withheld

I don't personally. Do have a friend that does. He's a math wizard and like puzzles.

I can do the "Hard" ones from the first link pretty easily now. I have yet to finish an "Evil" one.

Sudoku was made popular by a retired Judge from Hong Kong.

It is an obsession here to say the least.
