Do you do sudoku in pen?

[Conager]

I do. It feels more commited.

 

[Aglaopheme]

Yes, and crossword puzzles too. Yes, I am a dork.

A red pen that I stole from work.

Why not?

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

Why not?

You don't do them in your head?

 

[Conager]

I'm going through a lot of white-out. I'm going to need a new bottle soon.. I can't imagine buying it, but I'm not sure where I stole it.

Only pencil, but then, I never bother to erase an entire puzzle, either... most of its done already!

Cross it off and move on.

Yeah I've been doing a lot of that lately. You never really notice that you screwed up until there are about a dozen boxes left.

The problem is when you do screw up it seems to unlock the puzzle and you feel like you're making this great progress so you go from a false high to pissed off in no time.

I was making those big angry X's through the entire puzzle, almost tearing through the page. When I turn the page see that angry X through the page it reminds me of the failure, so now I make a small X in the lower left hand corner when I realize that it is hopeless.

I would do it in pencil but I never seem to have a pencil. Any place I can steal a pen from never has a pencil. If I buy pencils there's no place to sharpen them. And I haven't the patience to sharpen a pencil with my pocket knife without it looking like an eight year old did it. Mechanical pencils are crap. The lead is too hard and it always breaks.

My wife does sudoku in her head, memorises the answers then writes them in at the end non-stop, top left to bottom right. She also does the Listener Crossword. Apart from that she's quite sane.

I make way too many mistakes to do it in pen. It's pencil or on an app for me.

 

[SinInMe]

I know several folks who do sudoku in medium security pens.

 

[pointless]

i prefer crayons. cadet blue is my favorite.

 

[bronzeage]

I did sudoku when I was in the pen. It passed the time.

I don't like the feel of pencils unless it is on my sketchbook, then I am very particular about my pencils.

I like pens. I am picky about them too though, so I can usually only do half the puzzles in a book because the ink tends to bleed through.

well, try to pace yourself. there's like 7 billion of those fuckers out there and you don't wanna crack a rib or pass out while driving or walking down stairs.

Pretty good. They don't get much harder, unless you try to do a completely blank one.

I've never even attempted that. Nooooooooo.

 

[Carnevil9]

I do them on my phone. So I use a dry-erase marker.

And l always use a pen, but keep the white-out within arms reach
