Using a good helper program, I am disappointed with myself if I use more than 10 minutes solving a samurai-sudoku.com Fiendish puzzle.
Well, as you know, I don't like to use a helper program (for anything other than pencil marks and printing) unless I get absolutely stuck. It's fine for others if they want to do that, but for *ME* it feels like cheating, or at the very least, it takes away the pride I feel in having done it by myself.

My error using capitalization. Chalk it up as a mistake caused by my insufficient knowledge of the English language.
Not at all! Your command of English is so good that I sometimes forget it's not your native language. I think that more than anything, it was your sometimes quirky sense of humor that led me to think that perhaps the capitalization was significant in this case.
I know that in German, all nouns are capitalized. Is Norwegian the same?
