    Sounds about right, but I really can't remember. For some reason, I find it almost impossible to explain to someone how to complete puzzles without the game in front of me.

    Keep going, you'll solve it eventually ...

    OK. Here's a try at this without visual aids :)

    The central 2 with 0 next to it. Bring the line underneath it down to the 3 below it join it like this:

    2__ ... _
    .....|...|
    ..._|...|
    ...|3.1|
    ....-...|
    .....|..|

    Remove the line above the 1 next to the 3.

    Take your stray line up past the right hand side of the 1 and join it to line above it. Erase any junctions that leaves.

    I bet that makes no sense whatsoever and the formatting will have gone to shit.

    EDIT: tried to insert dots to help formatting.

    Keep at it - it really does get easier with time. I can zip through the 10x10s now, despite struggling with the earlier ones.

    No!

    The 30s and up on the 3rd difficulty can get quite testing; I think I'm averaging 15-20 minutes on those...

    /thinks how much time he's "wasted" on this game...

    I'm not willing to let it go either. Just thought I'd let you know that.

    Just go to play-asia.com and buy it for yourself - best £17 I've ever spent, no question.

    Agreed.

    I was genuinely stuck on a puzzle two nights ago and eventually went to sleep in tears after closing my DS with enough force to create a tsunami.

    However, I was not to be defeated and tried the same puzzle again last night. Completed it in 8 minutes, no problem whatsoever.

    Only Slitherlink can do this to a man.

    With Slitherlink I either see it or I don't. And when I don't it's infuriating. "IT'S NOT EFFING POSSIBLE!" Put it down, come back next day, "Ah, I see it now". Great game.

    Yeah, that's the chappy...

    Still stuck on it.. it's been a day now!

    @IMadeThis - yeah, mine took 8 days to arrive from YesAsia

    I've done that one, but stuck on 26 or 27 now. If can't do it after about half an hour of trying, I never try to 'rescue' the puzzle anymore - I just turn the DS off, relax/meditate/drown puppies and have a go on some later puzzles.

    Then, I come back to the one I was stuck on previously and it always seems to be a doddle.
