Actually, something I may be way more interested in is learning Starbucks language.
Seriously, what are they speaking?? I just ordered a triple grande latte mocachino frappachino sumatran vente with cheese. What it basically was was milk with whipped cream and ice. 
What the heck is going on in Seattle?? 
I like my coffee like my women......hot and bitter. |

I like these puzzles on the long train rides and stuff. Makes time go by so quickly... They have them in the paper every day here. I had never seen them before here though.
And there must be a finite amount of puzzles out there... So one day I will have to see the same one. Then it will be ALL ABOUT ME...

I was able to final beat one of their "difficult" puzzles last week..... It took me 43 minutes.
I wish I had that time back to accomplish something a little more fullfilling

According to http://www.shef.ac.uk/~pm1afj/sudoku/ there are 6670903752021072936960 possible Sudoku grids. I have to think that makes the probability of you seeing the same one twice essentially zero. |

We had one of those puzzles in our company newsletter which was emailed to everyone on Friday. I spent about 90 minutes on it over the weekend and gave up.
I just got an email from the folks who put out the newsletter, saying whoops, there's an error in the puzzle that makes it impossible to solve.
Bastards.
actually I feel much better that I wasn't able to solve it.
