Our book is very close to release - thanks to everyone who supported the Kickstarter. If you still need to order it then you can do so here:

This is a RIDICULOUS sudoku puzzle. The computer needs about 50 sequential "guesses" to solve it and yet it has a logical path that human beings can find. This is another incredible achievement from the brilliant jovi_al - it's called Cobra Roll - and you can give it a try at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.

PS Episode 4 of Simon attempting to play The Witness aired last night. The next episode will be early next week. We'll announce it on Twitter (@crypticcracking).

PPS If we manage to reach 400,000 subscribers then we'll be releasing a video where Mark and Simon answer community questions! Please email us at [email protected] if you have a good question for them :)
