I never timed myself but your time is fantastic. I cheat. I wrote a visual basic program on MS Excel that makes Sudoku like tic tac toe. It helps me to do 4 star (out of 5 total) difficulty level while I drink my coffee every morning. Joe S.
I'm trying to avoid Su Doku at the moment because it's like coffee for me - I see it and have to have some.
Anyway, I did one in one of the British tabloids at work once, and without being too snobbish about it I did it in around 3 minutes. Normally it takes me a bit longer then that.
Nice to see someone has found that page too. Here's some of my times: Easy level: 4 min 11 sec, 4 min 36 sec, 4 min 28 sec, 4 min 25 sec, 4 min 33 sec, 4 min 11 sec, 3 min 49 sec, 4 min 35 sec, 4 min 15 sec, 4 min 7 sec, 3 min 43 sec, 4 min 2 sec, 3 min 41 sec, 3 min 51 sec, 3 min 49 sec, 3 min 50 sec, 3 min 37 sec, 3 min 20 sec, 3 min 4 sec, 2 min 53 sec, 3 min 3 sec, 2 min 57 sec, 3 min 14 sec, 3 min 6 sec, 3 min 15 sec, 2 min 56 sec, 2 min 59 sec, 2 min 49 sec, 2 min 52 sec, 2 min 57 sec, 2 min 46 sec, 2 min 21 sec (best), 2 min 41 sec, 2 min 39 sec, 2 min 31 sec, 2 min 49 sec, 2 min 40 sec Medium level: 6 min 8 sec As you can see, my times at the easy level have come down nicely. Currently my average times are around 3 min 15 seconds. At higher levels my times are not as great, atleast without cheating. (with intense use of help button I could do 4 min 16 sec on medium and 5 min 4 sec on hard and 5 min 14 sec on evil) With actual cheating I was able to get times of around 1 min 15 sec - 1 min 30 sec on easy, medium and hard levels, but I did that just 5 times total, since I just tested how quickly it could be done and setting a cheat up was simply too bothersome.
