That's also the only way I can manage my blog from the front page without going into Design. <br /><br />I eventually found it so frustrating to have to sign in every time I wanted to use Blogger that I downloaded Google Chrome and have no problems when using that. This has been going on for months and there's no sign of it being fixed as yet.

I do hope it lasts :-)<br /><br />As I said in my post, I'm pretty hopeless at most puzzles and have never really bothered with them, but for some reason Sudoku just suits me. I think it's because the rules are so very simple and yet there's plenty of challenge there and it never seems to become boring.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-87884616025442101582011-10-27T16:22:07.068+01:002011-10-27T16:22:07.068+01:00I'm useless at puzzles simply because I haven&...I'm useless at puzzles simply because I haven't the patience.

Every so often I summon up the willpower to put my Sudoku book away for a while, often quite a long while, just to prove that I still have some self-control left. <br /><br />I certainly concur that it can be very frustrating to get almost to the end of a puzzle and find you've gone wrong! If you still decide to persevere, Sudoku definitely teaches you to concentrate.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-39151457441994343972011-10-26T16:35:38.826+01:002011-10-26T16:35:38.826+01:00LOL, Annie!

I reckon we are all capable of finding our own addictions without any help from others. :-) <br /><br />It's interesting that it's your mother and Fly's mother who are both puzzle addicts like me. Perhaps it's something that only develops when we have time on our hands. DD enjoys Sudoku, but hasn't time to be an addict.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-67900311115570381332011-10-26T14:54:33.325+01:002011-10-26T14:54:33.325+01:00You are an addict -- no doubt about it!

Sudoku, cryptic crosswords, noughts and crosses, solitaire....you name it, give us a puzzle and we are lost to the world for the time it takes to solve it.<br /><br />We are sure that you are right about exercising the grey cells and are confident that you are in good hands regarding this with your Sudoku at your side. But should, and we are certain that this is highly unlikely, you ever tire of your beloved number puzzle, then we suggest learning Hungarian!!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-39078206144862523562011-10-25T22:48:13.398+01:002011-10-25T22:48:13.398+01:00Ray, I'll return your awe with interest and ad...Ray, I'll return your awe with interest and add respect for anyone who can do crosswords without clues.

I am in awe of anyone who can complete Sudoku.<br />Words are my medium, crosswords and particularly the ones where only numbers and just two letter are given with no clues.<br />That really stretches my grey cell and unfortunately I only have just the one, so figures are not on my radar.Ray Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209429097744326143noreply@blogger.com
