I am very proud of this milestone (although I honestly didn't expect to reach it so quickly), so I strove to make puzzle 200 as interesting and varied as possible. The experienced solver should be able to derive many hours of entertainment from this one puzzle. (The truly experienced solver will probably be able to derive a mere 45 or so minutes of entertainment, but if it takes you longer than that to complete the puzzle, don't sweat it. :) )
I would like to thank everyone who has ever sent me feedback or solutions regarding my puzzles; feedback helps encourage me to keep this blog running. I'd especially like to thank ralphmerridew; my blog wouldn't be the same without him (for starters, two of the published puzzles would still have mistakes in them that I didn't catch). I'd also like to thank Zotmeister for introducing me to Nikoli so many years ago via his own blog. Last but not least, I would like to thank God; without His grace, I'd've been dead long before this blog was ever started.
