11:47 am
TP17

I normally only mark on Hard and Expert, and I try to limit the markings to naked pairs
11:48 am
TP17

I figure if I can figure out in my mind that there's a naked pair, it's only fair to mark them down.
11:48 am
hurshy

it's just my brain is tired after so many puzzles
11:48 am
hurshy

12:33 pm
