Wow, I just realized that I have only 6 puzzles left. On the plus side, I recently got Volume 1, which I might already be more than halfway done with I agree with you about A2V1 - I haven't spent that long on it so far, but the attempts I have made have not put any kind of a dent into the puzzle. I would be hopeful of eventually solving all the other puzzles, but V1 and S13 are two of the most difficult puzzles I've ever attempted and I'm not confident that I will ever solve either of them. It won't stop me from trying, however!

It won't stop me from trying, however! I've been plugging away at APII, but it's been heavy going for the last few puzzles. I finally solved A2X11 (17x17) today, but I'd say I was working on it for nearly a week (on and off)! I've only two remaining now - A2V1 and A2S13. I've lost count of the number of times I've got stuck on A2S13, but I'm going to try to get A2V1 completed and then I'll tackle it again.

I know I found that puzzle particularly challenging, but can't remember how I finally solved it. It may have just been by brute force/scenario testing.

Re: A2Z2
FINALLY! I solved A2V1 by figuring out the proper combination in the top right 1- cage. What a relief that is... but now I have no unsolved book puzzles... I guess I need a new book. What a shame.
