Its free, although apparently a month behind. I still cannot come up with a reason why the Seattle Times would take conscious steps to incorrectly identify the puzzle -- it defies logic. The lies which intrigue me the most are those which lack an explanation.

That stuff is automated a lot of the time, one little error (comma, space, incorrect syntax, etc.) can throw things off pretty easily.

Could've been the issue.

Many/most folks have heard of Sudoku puzzles. For me, they’re OK. Some are too easy and the Evil/Diabolical puzzles can be tedious to solve. So it’s not my favorite.

But another puzzle that was brought to the US by Will Shortz is called KenKen. I prefer it to Sudoku. It is also a number grid, but uses mathematical clues for filling in the boxes.

I like to play Weiqi "Go" blindfolded, everything else is so bourgeois.

Good for you. I tried to learn Go while I was in school. One of my labmates was from Taiwan who would play me. But he was playing at such a different skill level that I didn’t get much out of the experience. We would play 9x9 or 11x11 and each time I made a play early in the game, he would tell me that he already owned that area. As we would play out the game, he would be right. But I never caught on enough the be serious.

Same problem with chess. I had friends who would play me, but they would scoff at each of my moves. I never had the game sense at either of those games to make study worth my time.

The same guy who tried to teach me to play Go also tried to teach me Chinese Chess. Very aggressive game that I really never caught onto.
