Here's our Friday masterclass on how to solve today's cryptic crossword from @thetimes: youtu.be/KT-sbEZHRZ4 Great stuff today from Steve Bartlett (and a mad Quick Cryptic by Breadman!!) #crossword @serpent_xwords @Mickhodgkin
The most astonishing sudoku tonight from Nahileon in which the 9x9 grid is a magic square, the 7x7 grid nested in that is a magic square, the 5x5 grid nested in that is a magic square and the 3x3 centre is also a... magic square! youtu.be/YckVr1GDrj4 Matryoshka Magic!
Thank you @JWellsTax 🙏
A fascinating and challenging @thetimes crossword today - the range of knowledge required (crossword and otherwise!) is extensive. Very enjoyable - here's our masterclass: youtu.be/jsseh_3Dm80 @serpent_xwords @Mickhodgkin #crossword
And... it's now live. Apologies for the delay - Simon is assured Fibre Broadband is being rushed to his area of Surrey by December 2026... The sudoku is a Marty Sears masterpiece... and Simon gets in a pickle... youtu.be/IqW3xhRMXQ0 [Please do LIKE the video if possible 🙏]
Slight delay this evening on the 8.30pm video due to the nearly antediluvian pace of Simon's wifi upload tonight... will be five minutes or so late probably...
