One point of clarification: The NYT puzzle gets more difficult throughout the week.
#Sweet midi player 33 crack crack#
So, if I can crack the Saturday puzzle, I should be able to complete any other crossword puzzle, from the NYT or otherwise. In other words, the Saturday NYT crossword puzzle is the most difficult of all the crosswords.
To take this challenge further, I’ve decided to maximize the level of difficulty: The New York Times (NYT) has the reputation for publishing the most challenging crossword puzzles, and the Saturday puzzle is designed to be the most challenging puzzle of the week. So, naturally, I see this as a challenge. I’m not sure how folk dancing and crossword puzzles ended up in the same category, but nevertheless, the point is clear: Ericsson, the preeminent authority on expertise and human performance, doesn’t believe crossword puzzles can be mastered in a predictable, accelerated fashion. Whatever methods there are seem slapdash and produce unpredictable results”.
In Ericsson’s book Peak, he explains that “some activities, such as playing music in pop music groups, solving crossword puzzles, and folk dancing, have no standard training approaches. Why the Saturday NYT puzzle?Īccording to Anders Ericsson, the researcher of expertise whose work is the basis for Malcolm Gladwell’s 10,000 hour rule, crossword puzzles are one of the few things that can’t be mastered in any systematic way. Today, I start a new month and a new challenge: With only one month of practice, can I complete a Saturday New York Times crossword puzzle in one sitting without any aid.
