Also note that if you want a bunch more (10, in fact) Calcudoku puzzles to solve every day,
you can go to
http://www.321monkey.comYes, it seems like I am the only non-Dutch user of that site, so there is space for plenty more
An experienced calcudoku.org user should be able to solve all 10 puzzles within 30-60 minutes.
(edited to add:)
Patrick has now fixed a minor time-lag problem mentioned in a previous version of this post so that the new puzzles at
321monkey.com again appear exactly at 19:00 CET every day. Being among the first five solvers of any puzzle will earn you at least one bonus point, and there is a 10-point bonus for solving all puzzles on any given day. Puzzles will earn you points even if you don't solve them within 24 hours of publication, as long as you solve them by the end of the week (that is, before 19:00 CET on Sunday). Rankings are done separately for different age groups, meaning that sheldolina, the only "elite" solver of timed puzzles at calcudoku.org also currently active at 321monkey.com, is ranked with other under-18-year-olds so that it is not entirely unrealistic for those of us over 18 to become the weekly winner of our age group.
For continuity, I would recommend that you register at 321monkey.com with the same username that you are using here at calcudoku.org. (Do note that even if you use the same username at both sites, the points from the two sites are
not pooled, which is a good thing, because otherwise many of us would feel compelled to solve all daily puzzles at both sites to maintain our rankings.)

RIP, 321monkey.com! Long live the excellent, continuously improved calcudoku.org!
