Re: Rankings by year
Missed yet another Killer Sudoku today. I was travelling home from Portugal, which took about 8 hours in total door to door and I had some things to catch up on when I got home. So I did my usual trick of brain turning to mush when I tried to solve the killer with about an hour to go to the deadline. Not sure why this nearly always happens, but I have to stop letting it annoy me so much!

Re: Rankings by year
what's one puzzle or two in the grand scheme of life....I used to get upset when I either missed a puzzle or could not get one that I thought I should be able to solve......I guess age is giving me s slightly different view of missing a puzzle ......I envy your ability to travel

We are not traveling this year and I could have been one of the people in the top spot this year. we are planning on traveling next year. Keeping our fingers crossed.

Re: Rankings by year
To be honest, the compulsion to complete all the daily puzzles within the time permitted is a self imposed restriction that should not feature so highly in one’s list of priorities. It’s up there with having a Fitbit and feeling that you absolutely must do 10,000 steps every day, no matter what. And yes, I have a Fitbit and have allowed that target to become another daily chore. I think if I wasn’t retired, I would not have the luxury of being able to allow such things to become a priority. And I guess both objectives could be seen as something that’s potentially beneficial - one to ensure that the mind remains active, the other the body. But only if it doesn’t become an obsession. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I still have 1,800 steps to complete before midnight!

That is how I messed up in the middle of moving house last year. And that probably would have saved your streak too. Yes, that's a good idea. I think the "solve next puzzle" feature was added before there were Sudokus or Killer Sudokus on the site (not sure). Any progress to report on this Patrick? Just a gentle reminder.

Re: Rankings by year
Achievements have been reset, but year to date totals include last year’s figures (plus today’s total).
