Well you if you keep asking questions like you say you do up there
then you'll get to the technical stuff and then to the maths.

that's the problem
maths evades me, which is pretty lame because I'm supposed to be all clever and shit. I had to get Wiggy to help me with my drafting work last night because I just couldn't figure out why some stuff in the room plan I was drawing didn't add up. I think it's when maths and logic are combined.

Don't get me started on Sudoku. When I do it on the train I try and pretend I'm doing the crossword so no one notices how fucking long it takes me. 5 minutes? Yeah maybe for Stephen Hawking!

I'm good at maths, and I enjoy it
but I don't even want to try Sudoku. Doesn't appeal to me in the slightest.

Sudoku is about logic
You can do it with letters of symbols. No need for mathematical ability.

that is true
Strangely, given the way my brain works, I don't tend to enjoy logic puzzles particularly.

I prefer crosswords and things.

Logic puzzles I can do
Cryptic crosswords baffle me until I see the solution and then I'm amazed I didn't get it. It's a certain way of thinking.

my mum's really good at cryptic crosswords
I'm a fucking whiz at join the dots.

it helps to know the way the crossword writer works
unfortunately the only cryptic one I know the system for is the one in the Sun. It is the best thing in the paper though, by a long way.

Other than breasts obviously.
