Why, pray, Mother Superior, can the bottom left hand corner not be a seven?
I, too, am spending an embarrassing amount of time staring blankly at the puzzle. It has almost brought me to my knees, bu ... |

I take my hat off to you, Alan! Anyone who can write such a lengthy and erudite tract on Su-Dokus at 3:30 in the morning must be a genius.
