Tuning in to BBC TWO a few minutes early to blog out with QIXL, I heard the immortal words "Wham released the biggest number two of all time". Good job I could leave it a few minutes.

I had to think for a second about that one!

Re the musical sudokus - I suspect they're not really jokes - and are actually doable - unless there is something wrong with the mapping of numbers to musical symbols. I'm not going to check.

Twelve-tone Sudoku accomplished, although afterwards one needs a stiff gin (no tonic)

Not to blow my own trumpet, but I recall seeing a colleague struggling with a (conventional) Sudoku puzzle some years ago and remarking that for those of us versed in serial composition they're trivially easy. All that hard work wasn't a waste of time after all!

How difficult is it ?

How difficult is it ?

Easiest to substitute each pitch with the letters A-L (or numerals 1-12) and then (if you want) re-substitute back to pitches. Probably cheating though.

With the longsince demise of serialism, I don't think people are intuitively at ease with 12-note organisation, hence the old adage "As dead as a dodecaphonist" ...or whatever the expression was.

A retrograde step...
