Mike I can never do these things because once I get to the number questions,

page 11. Is that a Mac user problem, perhaps?

Maybe it looked at your answers and decided that to go any further was a waste
of time? )

Is it your natural charm and tact that oils the wheels of your life Martin?

Funny how some people
are naturally less at home with numbers: one of my daughters and one of
my nieces have the same gonerness, though way above average at language
and other things.

Quite, my wife won't attempt Sudoku, which I love, because it's numbers but
I'm certain if I replaced the numbers with letters ie, a to i (it would work
just as well) she would not be put off at all. I wonder what it is about
numbers that puts people off?

I wish I knew that too ! They just don't 'speak' to me at all. I blame my
math teachers halitosis. I never wanted to ask when I didn't understand
because he'd come and lean over to explain .....!

What browser were you using? Try with another browser perhaps? I was using
Firefox (on a Mac as you know), no problems loading any page at all.

I once did a quiz which was interesting because it gave a string of
numbers or initials and you had to figure out the series. So SSMTWT
would have F for Friday, next or 31, 28, 31, 30, 31 would have 30 for
days in June next.
I enjoyed those, found myself waking up in the middle of the night with
a solution to the next question

In my case, partly bad teaching and partly not natural aptitude. I cannot
fathom out what Sudoku is about, let alone do it! But I love doing - or at
least, attempting - crosswords.

Could be. The one my computer stuck on was the example of a name and
address you were supposed to remember and then answer questions on.

If you can do a crossword you can do Sudoku, it's easier, you don't have to
know anything to do it, it's just logic and reasoning that solves them.
The numbers 1 to 9 are simply convenient symbols they have no mathematical
significance in this context and could easily be nine different animals or
nine different letters or nine different cars...... etc.

I can't stand Sudoku either, but I'm hooked on Codewords.

OK, well seriously OT for this group, but I find that if I have a problem
with a particular site, it is sometimes helpful to try it in another browser.
I happen to use Firefox as my default, but have several loaded for other
reasons. You might like to try it (free download) - you may even like it
enough to keep it!
