My daily calender in years past has been The Onion or Red Sox-related, but this year it's suduko puzzles - one per day. They start the easiest on Monday (1 out of 5 stars) and get progressively more difficult until Sunday it's the hardest (5 out of 5 stars). I give an honest effort to solve the puzzle each day, and I can solve anything lower than 4 stars guaranteed. A 4-star puzzle is right at my preferred difficulty, and it usually requires overcoming a single tricky logical snag and then everything else falls into place. I can beat those puzzles about 75% of the time, but I've only completed about three 5-star puzzles total. They are a tough slog almost all the way through.
It's been my goal to complete an entire week's suduko puzzles (Monday to Sunday), and I hadn't been able to do it yet this year until last week. Hooray for me. I'll be very pleased when I can complete any sudoku puzzle like it's nothing, but until then, I must train...
