Is it just me, or are the puzzles getting harder?
I really struggled with Sat and Sun, then Mon/Tue, which these days take me c.2'30 took 3 times as long. The amount of lookahead that's required seems to have increased dramatically, requiring more than a minimal amount of shading and 'fix position'.
It's taken all the fun out of it for me, as there's not a snowball's chance I will break 50 minutes with these puzzles. |

Saturday and Sunday puzzles can really vary in difficulty, and this weekend Saturday was indeed a huge challenge, but the Monday/Tuesday ones this week were fairly typical of the easy ones... you certainly shouldn't need to use Fix Position for them if you know the basic patterns and strategies. |

I agree. this sunday's puzzle was really tough. I dont know if the record will break ten minutes for this one. maybe we're just having a streak of relatively difficult puzzles. |

I stand thoroughly corrected.
