Happy Camper!

Rudd, I am embarrassed to admit, but I had not been to your site in a few months due to my inabilities to keep up with your puzzles. When I read on The Daily Sudoku that you were including different degrees of difficulty, I immediately came back to try them out. I am happy to be a part again; & ...

Only Needed an X Wing

Hi David After hearing you & Keith rave about this site for awhile, I finally decided to give it a try. The first puzzle I tried took me 2 hours. The next, after more time than that, I needed help from your inputs on this forum. That should give Ruud a nice chuckle. Anyway, this particular one o...
