I can honestly agree with all (or, almost all) of the recent comments. It does feel like a loss, it is more awkward to come back as time flows towards the sea, I would like to know what his new endeavor is, and we should be positive in our farewell-for-nows.

I agree with you guys. I hope that Ruud does come back, but we do have to make contingency plans. So, I'm glad that you did, Richard and Ed. I'll go sign up now, and simultaneously hope for the best with Ruud - that is an impressive number of donations, by the way.

Marlie, I'd like to add my thanks to you for making another effort, and I, too, am sorry to hear about your mother. --Paul

Hey, glad to see there's still action here! (Still would love to see Ruud come back, recharged and ready to go.) I'm printing this out and will give it a try. Thanks, Afmob!

Great posts, Ed and Mike (and everyone)! I am headed to the donation icon right now. Though I'm not a frequent contributor to the forums, I have been a semi-regular solver (ATTEMPTED solver, often) of the Assassins; I have ALWAYS been impressed not only at the amount of time that Ruud and others hav...

Marlie, thanks for alerting us to your thread. AND, for calling Ruud's home(?!?) and finding out that he is OK! Maybe, he IS just burnt out. Or.......? OK, song lyric contest time: **** So, come on, Ruud, show us a sign Send up a signal, we'll throw you the line The sudoku curtain you're hiding behi...

Thanks, Marlie, that was excellent of you! I am very glad to hear he is OK.

I enjoyed this - as I do any Assassin that I can finish! Because it took less combo-crunching, I'll put this at a fun 0.75! (Keep mixin' 'em up, Ruud! Thanks.)

I enjoyed this one, and actually finished on Tuesday - which is very unusual for me. I'll have to give it a 1.0 - to paraphrase Groucho, any Assassin that will allow me to solve it....

Well, I'm glad to see that this gave (or is giving) others problems, too. I've had limited time to work it this week, and I don't think I'm close to breaking through. I think this will go into my growing bank of "ones to come back to" for now!

Wow, I couldn't keep track which version you guys were talking about. No matter, I only completed 1.0. Finished it yesterday - when a judge was REALLY late and I had plenty of time to find that C789 key. Thanks, your Honor! I didn't think it was doable without that key, but since it was difficult fo...

I have to admit, that this was the first Assassin in several weeks that I have been able to do on my own (without using a walk-through). So, either I am learning all the tricks from you walk-through experts, or it was easier than most. (Or, both, I suppose.) I'll give it a 0.75. By the way, let me t...
