Are these sub-50 sec times reality (it would take me about that simply to enter the numbers alone)

...honest opinions?

Totally possibly. My fastest is 1:30, and I rarely play easy. Working with your fingers to get them to go fast enough, as well as becoming second nature to use the program, then it is mostly just about how fast you can solve them, and if you pick the right starting number(or box or column or row, however you solve) it can go incredibly fast.

My fastest is :50, and I've gotten it twice in the past week I think

I have always been suspicious of the sub 1 minute times. I know that it wouldn't be hard to take a screen shot and pause the game so I could do the game off line and then just enter the numbers.

I don't pay much attention to those times since I know I will never be that fast. I pay attention to the better than percentage that I get on submitting. If I can get all four levels better than 50%, then I ma having a great day.

My best time on Easy is 1:30 and my top 10 list is all under 2:15.

My other personal daily goal is simply to get all for levels done in under 10 minutes each. That happens about once a week.

My fastest time on easy (it was an easy+, but for some reason, the game does not register that- I wonder why?) was 2:19. My fiance can get under 2 minutes- all his top ten times are under 2 minutes. I believe that with just the right puzzle, I could get under 2 minutes, but all I seem to get lately are easys that are NOT AT ALL easys- how come the game does that? I find that the longer I play at easy level, the harder the puzzles get. I think it is ridiculous to call a puzzle "easy" when one number is missing completely, and two other numbers are only on the board once.♥

Woah guys...my best time in easy is 00:39s and Im not cheating. How do you cheat on Sudoku by the way?

I play a a few hours a day (cumulatively), only ever in the EASY category, and it comes down to three main elements: skill, luck, and nimbleness (which includes patience not to fumble).

The top 0:57 I achieved only 15 minutes ago of writing this, and it came from a very lucky easier-than-usual game. I doubt I'll be beating it for a while to come - I honestly don't think my fingers or my wits are fast enough.

My top score is 49 seconds, and I must certainly have not cheated. One thing that has made all the difference for me is switching the setting to "cell first". That way you don't have to select a number for each hit. Ever since doing that, I've shaved considerable time off my scores!

Mine is 2:33

My top time on easy is 0:53, and I always play easy with "number first", because, when you start with a number, you can often quickly find all nine of them.
Average 1:56 (that's the one I currently play most), and hard on 11:35.

My top time on easy is :33 (in the leaderboard now) and all my top 10 are below :37. I don't ever cheat or understand really how one even could for easy mode. I play number-first which is an absolute necessity for a fast time and with what I think are the default settings (highlights all of the cells with the number you have selected). It's a bit frustrating that some people dismiss these times as cheating just because they can't do it themselves. Maybe I'll film it, if that would help.

My actual record is 1:42

My times are:

Easy: 00:58
Medium: 01:27
Hard: 01:58
Extreme : 03:03
