For the past two months or so I have been a member of that unfortunate mass of humanity: unemployed, Arab and male, living in the Middle East. It's a sad existence, to be sure, living at my mother's home while the horrible number 30 fast approaches, and my beard gets longer by the hour, but, hey, it gives me the time I need to play Sudoku.
I'd earlier promised a friend I would provide a full review of Sudoku puzzles as they appear in Kuwaiti newspapers. A full review is indeed in the works, but for now, I will stick to this: the puzzles in Al Qabas need to be seriously looked at. People, seriously, sudoku is meant to be something you solve on a coffee break, not an all-day activity. I can't claim to be a sudoku guru, but I'm not bad either, and the higher 2 puzzles in Al Qabas are a bit too difficult.
The "easy" level is fine, a bit too easy, in fact but, really, the jump from "easy" to "medium" is unjustified. If they had printed one which was titled "killer" or something, and meant to be very different from the others, that would be fine, but, honestly, the "medium" and "difficult" levels do not follow on from "easy".
If anybody here knows how to get in touch with the relevant editors at Al Qabas, please pass on the note.
