Good News…

…perhaps. A couple of weeks ago I noticed an entry form for a national Soduku competion in the back of a puzzle magazine. The closing date was the next day, but I completed the entry puzzle in 15 minutes and got it into the post.
This morning, I received a letter telling me that I was amongst the 250 people selected for entry to the national competition – first prize £1000!
The bad news is that entry costs £25 and I’ll have to travel to Cheltenham to compete. The deisel there and back will cost at least another £70 or £80. So, to be in with a chance of winning a grand and national fame, I need to find at least £100.
Hmmmm……

ETA: Just noticed that I will also be required to present some form of photo-ID. But I don’t have either a passport or a driving licence, or anything else like it. The only other time I needed photo-ID, it was purely a formality and a photocopy was all that was required. So I just borrowed a genuine driving licence and fired up Photoshop. (OK, officer, it’s a fair cop – I’ll go along quietly!)
However, this time, the real deal will be needed. So I’d better get in touch with the organisers and find out what they’ll accept.

  1. if you are into Sudoku you shall check out Kakuro which is a new puzzle game that’s getting popular lately 🙂

  2. Actually, I can’t seem to get into Kakuro at all. It just doesn’t give me the same buzz! But your Soduku site is new to me, and I like the look of it.
