What is meant by "green", please?
5:21 pm
torgone

See the Help page under subscript numbers ..
5:21 pm
SamanthaJoy

Thank you!
5:24 pm
SamanthaJoy

I'd seen the FAQ but hadn't tried it. Didn't realize that that was how they showed up.
5:24 pm
torgone

Handy little feature ..
5:25 pm
SamanthaJoy

I started doing sudokus all of three days ago. I don't know how I'd get by without them, yet
5:26 pm
torgone

There's a script around that will fill them in automagically, but I don't know where to locate it right now ..
5:26 pm
SamanthaJoy

Let's wait and see if I buy a lifetime account before we worry about it overmuch . . . :-)
5:28 pm
torgone

It's better to do them manually sometimes, because the script shows all possibilities, not just the logical ones ..
5:29 pm
Inge

spreadeagle for one has it in lnis bio
5:29 pm
SamanthaJoy

The logical possibilities *are* the only possibilities, aren't they? This is a logic puzzle, right?
5:31 pm
torgone

Well, it shows some possibilities that you can eliminate logically ..
5:31 pm
SamanthaJoy

Ah. OK. It shows some impossibilities, then. :-)
5:33 pm
torgone

Right .. It does an analysis based on simple cross-hatching, but there are patterns that eliminate some of those ..
5:35 pm
torgone

Like when you have a row with a pair of pairs, you know that those two numbers can't appear elsewhere in that row .. But the script doesn't know that ..
5:35 pm
SamanthaJoy

Aaahhhh. Now I understand. Thanks v. much@
5:36 pm
torgone

No worries .. Have fun sudokuing ..
5:39 pm
SamanthaJoy

Thanks again
5:40 pm
torgone

Hope you stick around .. The I.S. chat community is not as talky as the Babble chat, but there are lots of nice people here ..
5:42 pm
SamanthaJoy

The Babble chat is kind of scary recently, actually :(
5:44 pm
torgone

It can get weird sometimes ..
5:44 pm
SamanthaJoy

Lots of very angry people in there
5:45 pm
torgone

Not always ..
5:45 pm
SamanthaJoy

No, not always. Most of the time it's people who like Tom Servo, and then everything is wine and roses
5:51 pm
torgone

Or beer and pork rinds ..
5:51 pm
SamanthaJoy

Um. Steak and blowjobs?
5:52 pm
torgone

=O
5:52 pm
torgone

Do you know about S & K Day?
5:52 pm
SamanthaJoy

What? *innocent look*
5:53 pm
SamanthaJoy

Oh of course I do!
5:54 pm
torgone

*swoons* ..Do you happen to live near SD? ..
5:54 pm
SamanthaJoy

Sorry, love. I'm in Central Texas.
5:55 pm
torgone

Do you listen to DSC?
5:55 pm
SamanthaJoy

DSC? I don't know what that is.
5:56 pm
torgone

Then how do you know about S & K Day?
5:59 pm
torgone

Never mind .. No biggie ..Gotta go .. See you later ..
5:59 pm
SamanthaJoy

Wait, are we talking about the same thing? Do you read curry.com?
6:05 pm
SamanthaJoy

Damnit. One day, we will finish this conversation.
8:38 pm
torgone

Yes we will ..
9:05 pm
torgone

I really hope you're actually female ..
9:14 pm
SamanthaJoy

You're back?
