I just got my best time ever on puzzle #2,612,101,056 (easy) at www.websudoku.com

My time was 3:34

I am wondering if this is like Rubik's cube where some small portion of the population can solve it in no time all...

Oh man, the first few times are rough. Once you get the hang of it, you can solve them in 6 or 7 minutes pretty regularly. You have to do a bunch to get down below 5 minutes unless it is a particularly easy one.
 
7:41

the one in the newspaper was really easy, they usually take me anywhere from 13-20 minutes and today it was done in 8 minutes
 
I did that one in 5:02 (without touching the How am I doing? sh!t).

Sudoku is fun. :thumbsup: I play it occasionally on my PSP.

while some of it is skill....a LOT of solving these puzzles is a matter of seeing the right thing at the right time. THere are so many numbers and possibilities, you could go through 99/100 until you find that ONE to unlock the rest. There is really not much skill involved other than knowing the stratigies to "unlock" numbers

By that logic, I could read a few books and play grandmaster level chess.

Dayum. Sometimes, you just see the answers... Other times, not so much...
 
I got 3:03 the other night. wasn't really trying to get beat my previous best, just trying to lower my average to under 5 minutes with over 100 games played.
 
Are you guys using the "how am i doing" button? I used it and it took me 15 minutes to finish my first one.

It kinda feels like cheating though.
 
Not gonna try it...I get sucked into these things and I can't safely tuck away a few minutes at work to do this uninterrupted.
 
"Congratulations! You solved the Sudoku in 41 minutes, 52 seconds!" In my defense, I was watching TV and this was my first one ever...
