King of Sudoku

K I know this isn't a very funny or witty or scandalous post or whatever, but as of late I've been playing quite a lot of sudoku. Actually I started last term - that was mad, I was playing like 3-4h a day, sometimes 2 sessions. But as I improved the time I took got shorter and shorter. This term I play less. My goal is to break 4min on sudokufun.com. It's quite an intense site, cos you don't get to make notes so you have to remember all the numbers. I started off on websudoku.com, and actually the evil setting is very hard, much harder than sudokufun, but sudokufun has the timer setting so it's more fun.

Anyway the point of this post is to ask if anyone has strategies to share so that I can achieve my goal. Dave told me some but it turns out there was some miscom and actually I know those already.

Now I'll move on to boasting. My best time is 4min. I've got a couple of 5min (keep in mind this is sudokufun, for websudoku my best time is like 14 or something, damn slow). In effect, I think I'm the fastest online sudoku player I know personally. So whoever can beat me will get a prize. All you need to do is tell me what your time is, where you played, and what your basic strategy is (if you could provide a run-down on your best games, it'd be great as well).

Now for some emo. I've been playing sudoku to the detriment of my social and academic life. I can't stop, I just keep playing. I have no friends. I'm damn sian. I hate my life. Sudoku is all I have to live on by.
