so I just killed an hour of my life playing sudoku on www.websudoku.com - I played the evil level and it took me 56 minutes to complete it...

it was the first time I was able to complete an online one due to the fact that I was uninterrupted for that period of time...

Needless to say, I was excited - I thought it was a decent time, considering the level of difficulty and the fact that this is really only the third puzzle I attempted and completed...

I clicked on the statistics button to see how I fared against the populace...

much to my embaressment and disappointment, it told me that 97% of the people who played on that site finished faster than me - the average being 17 minutes... (btw, it only tells you those stats if you complete it without mistakes)

17 minutes?!?!

who are these unknown geniuses of the single number game? are there millions of savants just sitting at home, quickly and flawlessly filling the matrix of numbers?

... ... ...

For my ego's sake, I hope they were calculating all of the puzzles solved, including the ones from the three lower difficulties...

for now, I must bury myself in the mountain of work which I had so be avoiding for the last hour...

maybe then I can forget.

maybe now...

maybe this time...
