Greetings!
I am an employee benefit consultant from Tualatin, Oregon, USA, which is a suburb of Portland.
The origin of "The Stick" is that I am an avid golfer of 50 years. I played over 80 rounds in 2008 and have a 6 handicap. Played in "Santomierda's" Scotland last year and just loved it.
I am totally hooked on Sudoku. I have a number of First Place finishes but I have not made the daily Top 10 finishes. I'm just not as fast as some players like "flin" or "betterman/.hk". I'd sure like to know how they do it.
I passed a landmark on 2-22-09. I completed my 5000th sudoku puzzle, puzzle 160718, in under 10 minutes.
I also got on the Overall Leader Board for the first time with Puzzle 213570 which I did in 3:18 which got 9th on the daily board.

Props go to "Santomierda" for his/her Top 60 List. That is one productive dude. Do you ever sleep or eat or work? It's too bad James Pitts couldn't put together a comparable list. Also, why can't our recorded times be equal to our solve times rather than our solve time plus puzzle elapsed times?
Props go to "Maria Bumbarova" for her dogged persistence. Believe me, your times will improve.
Good Luck to everyone.
