I cannot understate how fun I think Marty Sears' "Rat Run" puzzles are, and I'm soooo stoked that season 3 is about to begin!

What is this, you ask?

It's a series of #Sudoku variation puzzles with a funny and clever story-line featuring the exploits of Finkz the lab rat (!)

Love it, love it, love it! 😄

Happy to report solving another 5 star variant Sudoku. This always takes me hours and lots of staring, but hey, entering that last digit and getting confirmation that the solution is correct is SO rewarding. (and I have a great partner in valacd where we bounce back and forth our thoughts over instant messaging).

I was always told that Dutch people have a tendency to make a verb out of many words, a practice my #English speaking friends didn't really understand. Or appreciate.
"Speeching" was a common word in Dutch #Toastmasters clubs, for example. I remember them not being too keen on "biking" as well.

Now my puzzle has the word "pogromed"?
And last week, #CrackingTheCryptic used "I don't want to be scylla-and-charybdised"?

I'm extremely proud to have solved a 5 star variant #sudoku puzzle that not only was exceptionally hard (for me), but also stunning and interesting throughout the entire many, many hour long journey. If you really want to get your grey matter cooking, try this one.
