    I got an offer to put this in our newspaper for no cost.

    When I passed the sample one around the office, everybody loved it, so I think it means it's going in.

    I'm approaching sub-6 minute time. YES, work is definitely a distraction.

    Anyone care to discuss technique?

    I scan across, three rows per scan, and then scan vertical, three rows at a time.

    Actually, it's a little more complicated than that.

    Describing it literally is tough.

    On the harder puzzles (but sometimes the easy ones too) I do a circular scan looking to fill in as many of the same number as I can. After that I start looking for single and two-opening lines/squares.

    I do similar to Travis...I start by scanning a row of 9 space blocks looking for any number that is in 2 of 3 blocks and then cross scan to try to figure out which exact space it should go in...I then see if the number I just added helps to do the same thing in the row perpendicular to the one I just filled in. I will run through all the numbers and then try to complete any rows that only have 2-3 spaces remaining. The killer is when you narrow it down and the same 3-4 numbers are missing all over the board and you can't find any clues to get the first one to "break" the gridlock...

    It's hard to explain how I do it, but it sounds similar to how CC explained it.
