If someone wants to take a peek and see if there's a way these can be exported, please post it. Also, does anyone see an archive?

| I clicked on your link and found nothing but instructions. My browser blocks pop-ups and Java. Or, a person may need to subscribe to the site to get the puzzle(s). Bottom Line: nada from my perspective. |

Marty,
I can see no way to capture these. Also, they are sort of bogus. The NY Times does not have sudoku puzzles in the paper - you can get some 3rd-party ones on their online site.

Maybe. I don't think it matters.
Also, I don't see any archive. Or discussion, for that matter.

no archive,
but if you mean to capture the current puzzle --
the "Print" icon ( above the puzzle ) provides a PDF.
and the URL for the PDF
contains the puzzle in text format ( transposed )
e.g. today's "Difficult" as taken from the URL0+2+0+0+0+8+0+0+0+0+1+0+0+0+0+7+4+0+8+0+0+9+0+3+0+0+0+0+0+1+0+0+0+0+0+7+0+9+0+0+0+0+5+0+0+0+7+0+5+2+4+0+0+0+6+8+0+0+0+0+0+0+0+5+0+0+0+0+0+6+0+0+0+0+0+8+6+0+2+0+5 transpose ==> | Code: |
. . 8 | . . . | 6 5 .
2 1 . | . 9 7 | 8 . .
. . . | 1 . . | . . .
-------+-------+------
. . 9 | . . 5 | . . 8
. . . | . . 2 | . . 6
8 . 3 | . . 4 | . . .
-------+-------+------
. 7 . | . 5 . | . 6 2
. 4 . | . . . | . . .
. . . | 7 . . | . . 5

i liked the earlier puzzle, which needs 2 moves;
today's puzzle is not interesting, it only needs 1 move. |

Sometimes I get this eerie feeling that Yogi Berra once referred to as deja vu all over again! |
