You are certainly having fun finding all these seventeens Annie.
Absolutely! I’m no good whatsoever at Sudoku, but I love finding these.
LOL I’m no good at Sodoku either. But I do love this series you’re doing, Annie.
I’ve never quite figured out why I find Sudoku so difficult. You’d think someone who spent thirty years teaching maths would find it a snack!
