At least, I think it does!

You're going to feel positively rejuvenated after solving today's difficult 9x9 [biggrin]

I subjectively felt like being on the verge of circular reasoning at many points, yet there always appeared a nice, logical path forwards, especially in the 6x and 168x cages at a late stage.
A most enjoyable puzzle [thumbsup]

Well, it seems like all of us subscribers already won the lottery today Even the non-subsribers are pretty lucky as well, what with today's difficult 6x6 and medium 8x8 being accessible to everyone Hopefully some of them will get hooked and buy a subscription pnm wrote: You're just getting smarter.

Tuesday (or Monday for me) 8x8 hard is probably my favorite. I am quite sad, I never get `\|` operator as a bonus puzzle :( All kinds of doubles. All 10x10. Sometimes I get a Friday one, but turned 90 degrees bonus -- much more enjoyable than constant 5x5 doubles with 0, which are mechanically solvable. On the contrary Tuesday 9x9 are one of the least enjoyable for me and I force myself to solve one once a year to get the achievement (when I am really bored, I might solve it more than once). And 6x6 hard where there is a central crosshatch pattern -- I probably miss some technique, but my solution rate for those is probably 50-60%, while all the other 6x6 patterns 100% of started.
