Sudoku

Sudoku is big these days. However I find these puzzles a bit difficult. That's why, a couple of months ago, I started to work out a variant that is a little easier. Finally I'm done and I want to share the new invention with you.

Sudoku for beginners:

The Flood.

It has been pouring down like hell for a week now. I have never seen such a thing with such an intensity. I'm sure there is a new biblical Flood arriving. So I decided to build an ark and save all the animals of Denmark from the flood. I've already printed the floor plan of the ark and decided on which animals go where.

Terror Alert Level Elmo.

It's terror code Elmo and I'm going to fly to the US next week! Holy cow. All American flight attendants will be on high PMS alert level. You cough once and they'll call the air marshall. And the new hype: no liquids allowed except for baby food! So I'm shopping for baby drinks right now but the choice is no good. I basically have to decide between Alete's fennel tea with apple juice

and Gerber's LiquiLytes® also with apple flavor.

Today, I went to Føtex and asked whether I could taste some baby food and they kicked me out treating me like a pervert. I guess I'll just swallow a balloon filled with beer right before the flight and ask my flight neighbor to punch my stomach really hard when I'll feel like having it.

Boobies. Wanna see some boobies? Then visit Claus Brabrand's homepage. You might get disappointed, though.

Doping.

What's all this fuss about doping in cycling about? Landis here, Landis there. What's so wrog about doping after all? Do you want to watch these guys push their bikes up the Pyrenees during next Tour de France?

Finally.
Finally our computer systems are running again! File server delays are bearable again etc. But what had caused the problem? Easy to explain! I found out what the problem was this morning when I tried to execute xcalc. What happened? Nothing. xcalc exists no more. It has ceased to be... Apparently, it was xcalc that had caused all these previous problems!

Finally, a poem dedicated to Rune.

Run', det dumme møgsvin
drikke svine tisse vin
og knalder råkold lig,
det mand er liderligt!

It's the end. Israel and Lebanon are trading rockets. Natural catastrophies are massing. It's the end. Apocalypse has begun... At least that's what a lot of US Americans claim on TV these days. Aren't they crazy?

Zidane. Zidane attacked Materazzi. What a scandal! ... not. Do you know what this corrupted Italian Mafioso idiot whispered to Zidane just before this happened? Exactly! Soccer is just a temporary game but pride is eternal. I would have slit that bastard's belly open right on the show.

Westernizer. And here an example to demonstrate how powerful the Westernizer is (compare to previous post). Impressive, isn't it?

Westernizer is here. We all like to read Blog of Mirka, don't we? However, she has little problem with the article. What is article? the Articles the are tiny the little words the like "the" or "a" Western people sometimes mix into sentence. In order to help Mirka to improve her blog, I've the written small awk program the below that she can use to the correct her the writing.

westernizer.awk

if (!int(rand()*8)) {
out="the "
}

s=$0;
while (index(s," ")>0) {
x=index(s," ");
out=sprintf("%s%s",out,substr(s,0,x-1));
if (!int(rand()*8)) {
out=sprintf("%s%s",out," the ");
} else {
out=sprintf("%s%s",out," ");
}
s=substr(s,x+1);
}

print out s;
}

And that's how you use it:
1. Save Eastern formulation to FILE
2. Run "awk -f westernizer.awk FILE > NEWFILE"
3. publish text NEWFILE.

Publication pressure. Publish or perish. Nothing published within two weeks. What would others do? I could publish a picture of my desk like Doina. I could write about my last trip to Germany like Gabi, just post some dirty stuff like our drag queen Rune usually does, or have all the others do the blogging for me like Martin. All far too easy. I can top all that with an equally boring topic: It's time for a chart analysis of the NYBOT Cocoa July futures.

We can clearly see that MACD 37.65 crossed MACD 20.67 in early June, forming the famous heads-and-shoulders double-top formation. Shortly after, the open interests fell dramatically -- probably due to some roll-over transaction into the August future. This indicates that the prices are going to fall.

From the Beograd newspaper: After the miserable performance of Serbia and Montenegro's team at the soccer world championships 2006 in Germany (two losses and one still to come) the governments of the newly separated countries are in a fight over which country is to take over the existing soccer team.

The topic is hot. Which team will become world champion in soccer? Here is my prediction. It will be a rotation of Holland.

On June 9, Mihtjel posted the following picture and earned a lot of praise for it.

Unfortunately, I have to tell you that this picture is a cheat as I managed to get its original version:
