After a lot of thought, I’ve decided that I can’t afford to enter that National Sudoku Championship that I posted about a while ago. A couple of new bills have come in and I can’t even spare the £25 entry fee, let alone the travel costs to Cheltenham.
I’m pretty gutted, especially after reading this report on last week’s World Sudoku Championshp. Without boasting, I can say that I regularly complete puzzles like that in 15 minutes or less. Not every time of course, and not in competition. But I really think I had a good chance at the national title.
Oh well, there’s always next year.
ETA: OK, I printed out the puzzle and tried it. And spent 20 minutes making an utter hash of it. But I still say: I coulda been a contender!
