Rethinking Timing TBLR Sudoku

Somehow, in the course of seeing if I could solve Sudoku puzzles top-to-bottom, left-to-right (TBLR) in 30 minutes or less, I stopped having fun. So instead of seeing what percentage of the time I could solve a puzzle TBLR in under 30 minutes, I’ve decided to just do the puzzles and see how much time it takes, and see if I can improve my time. The not being under time pressure seems to help. I will keep doing one post a week, unless, of course, I stop having fun doing it this way.

Saturday, 12/12/09: 6-star. I got tired around 40 minutes and I made a choice without following the consequences far enough. Fail.
