Sudoku Strategies

Some unusual breakfast conversation took place at Carole's Place on South Orange Avenue this morning.

The usual economic and political banter was pushed aside thanks to Lee Chotas, who brought in a Sudoku puzzle he had been struggling to solve since before Thanksgiving.

It was passed around for suggestions as to strategy, and it was eye-opening to yours truly.

Sudoku has been a morning kickstart for me for a number of years. Really helps to get the gears going full steam before I head out to conquer the world each day.

But, I mistakenly assumed that every other puzzle solver followed the same method of attack.

Can't wait to tackle the puzzle in tomorrow's Sentinel so I can employ some of these new ideas.

As for Lee and his stumper, though, he's still on his own!
