A ONE-STAR PERFORMANCE


It's Monday, so the sudoku puzzle in today's Philadelphia Inquirer (Note: Puzzle online doesn't always match that posted at the web site.) rates just one star, meaning about as easy as they get and as difficult as I'm willing to attempt. Still:


572 498 163

814 623 975

396 157 248

263 789 514

721 246 389

948 315 726

685 972 431

129 834 657

437 561 892


I take my victories where I can.


[Post-publication addendum (June 13): Clive Thompson asks, in "The Puzzlemaster’s Dilemma," (New York magazine), "Will Sudoku kill the crossword puzzle?" I really doubt it.]
