I do them when I can find some spare time, but I really should do more... Hey, I could certainly do with the practice, as my change counts are normally lousy compared to the rest of you!
Saying that, I've just blitzed Monday's wrong. Yay me!

You have to get it right first time pretty much to get a good score, so doing some working on paper or something else is often worth the additional time it takes. Unless you can just see the answer straight off, like I pretty much did on sunday... (pure luck - spent more time finding the wrong number than solving the wrong!)
Speaking of which, maybe the wrong number should be in bold or something, unless finding the number is supposed to be part of the challenge. |

They're not too bad once you get the hang of them (well, the hard ones can be tough) - it's either a case of trying to solve it in your head or "on paper" first or trying different things and seeing how they work out. Sometimes the knock-on effects can cross the entire board.
It's also handy to remember some of the parts of the puzzle where there were two different routes you could have taken - often the "wrong" involves trying the other one. |

I'm not sure exactly what it would be, but it certainly wouldn't make a right. |
