Sudoku seem to be pandemic. I started sudokuing today using a booklet
by German "Zeit" and "Handelsblatt". After spending about two hours I
have solved 25 sudokus with 48 given entries and started to find them
boring. I wonder if I should skip the remaining 25 and continue with
sudokus with 32 given entries :->

Up to now I didn't even bother taking a look at the hints on solving
this kind of puzzle which are provided in the booklet as well.
