I have also found that Sudoku in Karmic always reports game times of about 58 seconds.
After having a bit of a look around the source, it seems that the problem relates to the autosave function. Autosave is triggered ever 60 seconds (or the time set by gconf /apps/gnome- sudoku/auto_save_interval). On each autosave, the module saver.py triggers a "timer.finish_timing" event. This stops the timer and means that the final reported game time will be incorrect. I found that by setting the autosave interval to a large number (I used 60000), autosave is effectively disabled and the timer works correctly. I also tried setting this to zero, but this just causes the program to default to 60 seconds. I'm not sure if there are any serious consequences of disabling the autosave feature. I guess it just means that the game state could be lost if the session is ended unexpectedly.
