Post Do you have favorite puzzles or patterns you look forward to
I do.

I have three I look forward to every week.

I like Wednesdays difficult 7 x 7; it is the subtraction only puzzle

I like the EXTRA Wednesday puzzle. It is a 10 x 10.

I like the 10 x 10 on Fridays. I find it relaxing. Don't ask me why.

I know this is a lazy answer, but I like the twin puzzles as I can generally fly through them.

Like you, I find the Friday 10 x 10 relaxing. I like to see a sea of green wend its way up and down the columns.

But I dread the 7 x 7 subtraction only puzzle. Sometimes it works out reasonably simply, but some days (today for example [mad] ) I find myself going around in circles.

On Tuesdays I like the 8x8 difficult puzzle (with bitwise OR) and the extra puzzle, which is also 8x8. Can't pinpoint exactly what's so enticing about the latter; probably something about the degree of difficulty and the "flow" it has to it.

Paul, look through the forum on Solving techniques. I think it was CLM who gave a great response and it has helped me.

For instance, today's 8x8 difficult and extra puzzles are both grrreat [thumbup]

… and the extra puzzle of Tuesday 29 Oct is so rad [thumbsup]
The way the exponentiation cages "interact" with the rest is just [woot]

I love the big grids—10, 12, 15. They hypnotize me into number-tapestry dreamland...

I like the Thursday 7x7 (-3 to +3). The level of difficulty rating seems odd (so to speak)

Wednesdays difficult 7 x 7
Friday 10 x 10
the bitwise 8x8

they each require a specific way of thinking to solve them
