Tough puzzles!
Mostly very tough puzzles, that (like book #3) lived up to the books' name. We're very happy to have bought #3 and #4. Question, does Mr Longo know there are duplicate puzzles in #4? #69 is duplicated in 75, 82, 95, 99, 119, and 127. #134 is duplicated in 202.

Mensa Absolutely Nasty Sudoku Level 2

Frank Longo

Sterling, 2007

I LOVE THESE BOOKS!!!!
These books are so nice! The puzzles are nice and big, and the paper is high quality, which definitely makes it easier. I concur with the previous reviewer, though. Volume 2 is not noticeably harder than Volume 1. However, Volumes 3 & 4 will wear you out! They did ...

The main question I asked myself....

if you really like hard sudoku
I enjoy the toughest Sudokus, I do solve them all; when really at a 'dead-end', I rely on "Ariadne's thread", aka 'smart-guessing' (once I have narrowed down dozens of relations). This book drives me to that process more than any other, including more often than with ...

Beware....this is addicting!!
As a Sudoku enthusiast I have a hard time finding interesting Sudoku books. The square grids have become a bit boring so I went on to the variations (circles, snakes, mazes, etc). So when I saw the grids in this book I fully intended it to be one of "those" books that ...

Buy this book--unless you're a crybaby!
I've said many times over the past three months that this particular book is the best bang for the buck of any book I've ever bought: $6.95 for 300 challenging puzzles! Such a deal! One tip, though: If you think "Brown Belt" should be downright EASY, as in, "For ...
