Sorry to go on about Sudoku, but what is so special about hand-generated puzzles over computer generated ones? The Guardian is making a big deal that their puzzles are the only ones being published in Britain that are done by hand. This is a grid of numbers not pottery or something - how can doing it by hand make any difference at all?
Only those in blighty have 'eard of it, old bean.

I had a Japanese girl exlaim her joy at the fact they had appeared in the newspapers here, so I suspect they might have heard of 'em. Of course said girl also stole my copy of the independent for half an hour.<br> <br> I must admit the one I did was fun, even if it was the easy one.<br>

Ah, for in saying "hand generated" it IMPLIES:<br> <br> quality<br> <br> craftsmanship<br> <br> superiority<br> <br> But they lie, right? It may at best be hand-copied from a computer generated source....
