durp

i'm done

later

mornin all

Your done!!!!!!!!1

yeah right...lol

heh

:)
that easy huh?

Done - it IS that easy! :)

18 minutes I can handle. Only one makes me envious :)

I think he may of been fibbing Sprite....lol

I know! ;)

Actually, it took me more than 1000 seconds! :)

So you were having a slow day?

hi all

hey

All the regulars rolling in :) Hi all.

word

so how does it compare to most hards?

So far a breeze.

so far eh?

Not ready yet!

finished it

it was pretty easy for a hard

all done :)

Ha Debs, that's fast! :D

Some of the so called hard ones seem easy ...must be having a good day...lol

The classification is a puzzle in itself.

Well I'm gonna make a cuppa and make sure rugrats getting ready for school.. Cya all (((hugs)))

Bye Debs, have a great day!

And you Sprite... tc cya tomorrow....

done

Wtg :)

thx, night

done. not too bad once you get going

have a good night all

Night

wow, so far this one really is easy, for a hard rating

morning... how is today's puzzle looking/

I actually finished yesterday's without hints from anyone... funny what a buzz it gives you LOL

This one is pretty easy indeed. Hi Ginger :)

And that's me done. Nowhere near fast, but still I am happy :)

wd Sprite

what's it like for plain 'obvious' numbers?

Too easy ........definitely not hard.

done

wd :-)

idk y, but i had more trouble w/ yesterday's than i did 2days

ty Ginger, its 2 AM where i live, so gl to all, gnight

it's funny what is an easy pattern for some, and hard for other's, I finished yesterday's in like 12 min, but have been working on this one for 40

wow the 1's were easy lol

bottom row was reasonably easy

I had to start over, I got it all messed up

ya, i wouldn't call that a hard

good luck, all. later

Hmm...not too tough tonight.

everyone is saying that it is not too hard.. I must be doing something wrong

time to start over

no worries NJL, I had to start over too, and think it's pretty tough

I have full top and bottom rows.... hmm seemed too easy!

Woo hoo! Did it, and I don't know why, but it took only 30 minutes! Good night, All.

Yeah, definately not a hard one, 35mins whereas normally i cant even finish one of these on hard :p

A full top.......?

I must be mentally retarded. Who the hell can do these in 30 minutes ?

Lol this isn't as easy as the one yesterday but it's easier than the "easy" one the day before.

i call BS

its just practice, and sometimes a bit of luck

you are lying to me

It's logic, is what it is. That's why some days are easier, but if you're stressed out you can't think as clearly.

Not lying, silly.

dont try to talk logically with me

your Jedi logic wont work on me

;)

"this is not the number you're looking for"

Haha. You're mentally insane, not retarded at all!

can i use my iron sudoku name and password on babble ?

Yeah.

chickening out? :)

not letting me

Mine is the same.

Hooray, it's solved! And if 30 minutes is considered 'fast' for this puzzle... I must real good at Sudoku then. *self-congratulates*

no I figure maybe its a lack of resistence or back pressure that I cant work this puzzle so I thought I would play another at the say time and see what happens

Lol well done.

how does that babble work, anyway ?

i'm finish. just 30 min

Y%ou have to make words out of letters which are touching one another. Can't use the same letter twice in a word.

It's horrible because I think they make up words especially for it! Lol.

if one more frickin person tells how he just finished in 30 mins I think I will puke

PP: thanks

Haha. Just lie and say you did it in 15. Hee hee hee.

YEAH! just finished. Filled all the boxes in in my mind so fast I had no time to type them in I just saw them, kinda like the Matrix.

HAHAHA!!!

Going to get food. Will be back later. Good luck guerro! Lol. x-x-x

hi all

now many words do I need to get in babble ?

DONE. varies each day. like playing Boggle with the letter counts like scrabble

today is 168 words

night all

nite

well that sucked, made a guess ages ago; got down to only 4 remaining before the guess turned out wrong

so, a hard one today... or is it

morning my lovelies

morning rob

morning

hey trioptimum

long time no see

less talk and more sudoku race, rob

well, i seem to have filled in 2 numbers

hmm think I might win this then :)

doh and my boss comes in, this may scupper my chances

woo, done

that was a lot easier than some previous mediums

oh doh, forgot about this

-Slid back in, with food!!!-

trioptimum - you consult mediums?

only when I get stuck

Lol which is...never, really.

;)

I've found that reading chicken entrails is a particularly effective method of solving a sudoku

LMAO! I prefer the tried-and-tested tea leaf malarky.

ah yes, tea leaves more multipurpose than entrails

this one doesnt seem so bad

I thought that, then I got distracted and couldn't start rolling again, so reset.

:(

only one 8....dern

nm...im blind

Hi Santa... I got to 4 squares left and scewed up :9

crap...two 6s in one column

where could i have messed up...i didnt guess...hmmm

I didn't either Santa but I got the same problem

im not really thinking right now

i did this to cool down after getting really angry a little while ago

Hi there

im not sure that was a good idea

LOL :-) Hi Bastien

Now I'm sure what "Return to checkpoint" is :)

itd be neat if we could have multiple checkpoints

yes, with small thumbnails of them on the left

yeah

and we could toggle back and forth between them

starting over...

:)

i dont know if i feel like finishing this right now

If I save a checkpoint, Is my game kept if I leave and come back later ?

yeah

good news

hi all

a hard one, hey?

it starts out easy

but watch out

i thought i was on a roll

a good idea is to take the red numbers for an educated guess. i always look for a field with only 2 alternatives, pick one (mark it red) and see what happens. if i get stuck, the other number must be the right...

ha...i never thought about using the micro #s that way

thanks

#s ?

i found out on friday

got it!

#s = numbers, i assume

si

@rjan_de: quite cool idea, thanks

oic, international community ;-)

what, si?

@morgan: no prob

oh, I didn't read the "how to play", useful .. hum :)

@santa: :D

holy crap its 530 am

back 2 work, bye

no, it'S 1:30 pm

not in texas lol

but in good old germany *g*

lol

me too german

lunchtime in Brussels too ;)

just had lunch

hard with so many numbers ? this is ridiculous

what a mess

Not too bad....

:( I started out so well. Pfft.

Me too! Haha!

woot...finally finished

drats, fluffed it!

wasnt really that hard

oh well, I'll let Nikola have a go. cya

i just wasnt paying much attention

Lol hush up santa, some of us are stuggling!

:P

struggling, too!

lol

:D

trust me i was paranoid the whole time just waiting for double #s to pop up again

but its 6am...ive been up since 11am yesterday...im tired

Bless ya.

sleep i must and i will see you guys tomorrow

good luck

Lol thanks hun. Sweet dreams.x-x-x

Yay! Finally finished! Lol!

Yayayayyyy!

Me too!!! x-x-x

I have never made and educated guess before, but I did tonight...... and got it right first time!!

oh well, time to start again...

hi all

hi

hi chebuctonian

hi ginger :)

ugh. I'm half way done, and it's become a tough slog to pick off possibilities

I got all but 4 squares done before I realised I'd screwed up !!

*crossing fingers* I think I'm ok :)

mornin'

Good morning

good morning; finally, done...

hi honey

Happy Birthday, Rachel!

:)

Happy Birthday Rachel... my turn tomorrow¬

Happy Birthday from the UK, Rachel! : )

Thanks everyone

done

cya

anyone did this whit out guessing?

I just finished pretty easily and with no guessing.

Off to Babble.

Done without guessing :)

hmm i most be really bad at these things

today's puzzle was pretty easy. Didn't have to guess once...

yeh did it, indeed was pretty easy

am I still connected?

apparently so. :)

They say it's hard but it doesn't seem like it's that bad

this is the hardest one; well, for me anywys!

first 3rd seems okay

it's ground to a halt for me halfway through

me too : / nice start, but then I keep going down dead ends

time for a checkpoint!

I really think I would love to have a "rotate puzzle" button

is that cheating?

rotate puzzle?

Well it would change the perspective

How would rotating help?

I suppose :)

you could just tilt your head to one side? ; )

oh i see, rotate what you already have, not your guesses

*shrug* I don't know if it would help or not, but I just think it would

Right, rotate the board as it is

works in Babble, so I'm told! lol

i was thinking like rotate in texttwist

ah gotcha

Done

I was staring at a ton of greens not knowing what to do, and then I found one thing, and then the whole board fileld in

Yeah I'm there right now

Trying to find the keystone

Done!

Hooah

done :)

My keystone was the 4 in the middle box

Well, back to work!

hi and wd Haxored

hello

this one is easier than that easy one we had a few days ago

true

wow, that was really easy

especially compared to the other ones we've been getting lately... this rating system is off

yes i agre

humm... am stuck about 1/2 way done

Hello. What's a 'keystone?'

shitty beer

i agree with millerdakiller; easier than the easy last week

a number that when you get it everything falls into place? just guessing from context :)

That makes sense.

had to stare at it for a bit but after 4 in the right middle square it was easy to finish

same here... as soon as you get that 4, the grid opens up, but pay attention and remove your green numbers carefully, or you'll keep going down dead ends like I did, lol! : )

So I'm down to 3 blanks left, but they can't be filled without conflicts. Is it easier to find my error(s) or to start over?

I'd start over. It's amazing how much you'll remember as definite. I started over just now, and finished in next to no time. : )

i thought hard gave you 5 ranking points

i allways start over, unless i have a particularly suspicious moment

yes, I was surprised it was only 3 points too : /

is there a time factor now, cause I started last night and went to sleep on it LOL

not that I'm aware of, TheMadRef

Hi Babs!

ooh!! hi artlady!! how are you these days? :D

Clambering back out of my cave...

clambering?? is that a Babble word?

lol! winter do that to you? or have you been exploring?

'clambering' could be a babble word, lol : )

Actually, I've been so swamped that I wouldn't let myself play Babble. Then this one came along... ;-)

Babble broke my addiction to sudoku last year.... and now sudoku has broken my Babble habit..... what's next?? *mind boggles* :s

This one doesn't take as long as a game of Babble, tho.

true... : ) (although I was getting faster)

Hey, I'm visiting Londontown for a few days in June. Any good restaurants you can suggest? (or are you elsewhere in jolly old?)

ooh!! well, I like humble restaurants where nothing matches, prices are reasonable and food is fab. Lovely italian on my high street, lol! hey, let me add you to my friends in Last.FM and we can have a proper chat! :D

crap had to start over

ouch

don't worry, dplass, I started over and I was done in less than 30 mins (not bad for me!).

yeah but i'm dumb

artlady, found you in Last and added you as a friend : D

Babs, do you have the same name in last?

similar. you'll see!! :D

let me post a shout on your page....

artlady, go to your page in Last and you'll see me : )

ok...

well, time for me to make dinner. I got your mail and replied, artlady : )

success!

tough one

yep

once again my user/pwd doesn't work. had to create a new user. guess i'll get used to doing that

jdog2: did you send a feedback question asking about it?

nope, will do today tho

cool

trying to determine if its my firewall or something

which browser are you using?

ff 1.5

works ok at home, but not here.

can't think of anything of hand, unless you had caps lock pressed when you signed up :)

damn caps-lock always screwing things up.

this is a toughie

Whew!

yes, I'm done!!!!

goodluck everyone

i'm stuck

i'm a bit stuck myself. anybody have a good area of the grid to concentrate on?

get your 1's done

yeah, those were the first things i did :) and i have all my possibles filled in as well ... but now i'm down to the really brain-bending logic part

*sigh* i need hurshy here to help me

read the log, there are some a.

hey keep it clean this is a family site

roon there is no need for that

very sweet

you have no idea

i feel like i missed something ... in the chatterbox, not the sudoku game

oh ok, it IS a troll. i thought so

don't you have anything better to do with your time roon?

that's a shame

grow up

poor little thing

ha

past your bedtime

nice... very mature

a

ok that got personal. we need dr. god to remove this guy or something ...

we used to have the same problem on babble. until people grew up.

there will inevitably be troublemakers

best things is to ignore them i guess :)

i guess

kinda stinks though

b

somebody said something earlier about figuring out the 4 in the middle of the puzzle and then it was easy after that but ... i'm not getting anywhere trying to solve for 4

i agree. i'm trying to finish the sudoku. i'm sure Dr God will sort it for us.

me neither i am really struggling tonight

yeah... i am sure he logs IP addresses, so banning someone in the future shouldn't be a problem

tonight? what time is it for you, amyh?

8.50pm - London

gotcha :) i'm 1:50 in the US

done

hip hip, hooray

i am looking forward to the rankings on april first

are the rankings assessed from april 1st or from the sessions running up to april 1?

i am .. sort of :) i haven't won that many of these so - it'll be cool to see how everybody else is doing, tho

Dr God, will speed affect the ranking?

no it won't

at least I'd be surprised seeing as they don't really put hte time anywhere

i think it it is possible to tie up speed and difficulty. i would like to see it happen

that would be interesting - but then i think we'd have to have some sort of pause function

I'm good without time, I do them over hte course of hte day at work so I'm not going to set any time records

may be it wood be possible to get extra points if puzzle finished in 15 minuts?

seems like the bonus would have to depend on difficulty, if it was based on time

Time is not a factor

like - 10 minutes for an easy, 20 for a medium, 30 for a hard, or something like that

only problem is that there are a number of tools to solve sudoku - I know it's against the grain but there you go, some people will use them

dan wins

well there you go then :)

whew - does anyone else have to use paper to finish these?

I use paper alot

and i never cheat

i was using paper until i found out about using the small green possible numbers

and now that there are checkpoints, i can always checkpoint before i make a guess (if i were to do so, which i never do anyway) ... so i seem to have eliminated the need for paper

i like puzzles from books

I can do dem all day long

but interface on this site is lovely

Why thank you. :)

yay AJAX

has anyone been using red numbers yet?

I'm a gree number kinda guy. I have het to use a red number. Not sure if I'm suffering for it or not.

yay Dr. God, yay rails, yay ajax

i had to guess 2 times. used red

AJAX, yes. No rails though.

not rails eh?
my bad

not rails eh?

I'm going cross-eyed now!

that one didn't seem all that hard.. only had to guess once and everything fell out of that

i can't get past about 1/2 way...again!

God- where do you get the puzzles from? or are you creating them?

They're created using a puzzle creator tool I found

and it decides difficulty as well?

i presume that's where the difficulty ratings come from also?

yes

wow finshed - that was a really difficult one!

God I was thinking it'd be nice to have the user rank the difficulty of the puzzles

It would always average out to "medium" I have a feeling. ;)

I agree

good job, amyh! :)

Dr_God, thanks for creating a great sudoku site; it's a lot of fun!

My pleasure. :)

hey god, how many completed puzzles a day?

or how many users really

currently averaging 244/puzzle

cool

That's completions not players

big change between a medium and hard?

Any chance of having more than one puzzle/day?

Danno-
A little difference, but not really

Stef-

Stef-
Possibly. That's on my list of things to add for Pro players

It would certainly tempt me into going pro

this puzzle makes me cry

Good to know. ;)

fun though:)

Hmm...a useful option could be "Clear Pencil Marks" that would just remove the green/red pencil marks in case you think your black numbers are right but you might have a problem in your pencil marks. I may need to clear them now, hence the suggestion ;-)

Finally!!

I'm done

Perry-
That's on my list of things to maybe add

Alright, it's a maybe! Thanks Dr. G

yeah I could go for a clear all pencil marks right about now

if you don't trust your pencil marks how can you trust your numbers?

any chance for any "undo" when you accidentall select a number instead of making a pencil mark, and dont remember what was in the square before? i guess it goes with my biggest problem with this game, getting careless

That's also on my list of things to work on, knib2

well quit chatting with us, and get to work

because I may have forgotten to eliminate a pencil mark after placing a number I'm sure of. yes, I could have a problem in my numbers, but it could also just be an error in clearing marks too

I haven't finished the puzzle yet, Danno. ;)

Good point Perry

God - I'm pretty sure you should follow the same rule all good drug dealers do, don't use your product :)

Good point

haha, too true

Cuz I really should be working. :)

yea thats always my problem

got to test out the product so you know its not crap! Play on...

(Any excuse to play)

Thanks, Stef. I knew there was a good reason why I had to play.

I may have to go find some of these "wing" techniques, etc...the basic tricks I know aren't cutting it sadly

Do you have an address to visit Perry?

that, unfortunately, is on my home comp

grats stef!

hello

NORNNA

nornna rox

Afternoon, everyone

Yes! Done!

Done! :)

new player here... how can I change the difficulty to the easiest one?

can't buddy

The difficulty changes every day, I'm afraid :/

oohh... ok

thanks!

Not a prob. Good luck!

yeah..thats right. just wait for the next one but it can be another difficult one..no one knows!

And sometimes they lie... That "easy" one the other day wasn't so easy x.x

thats the challenge, isnt it :-)

I love it; I'm such a Sudoku addict

oh..same here.

its a good mental exercise

Contents of my purse: lipgloss, sketchbook, phone, camera, and book of diabolical Sudoku =D

luv solving it after a breakfast or just before i go to bed at night :)

... Or in class during a real boring lecture ;)

wow...diabolical. how crazy can they get

one time i did one for 2 days

Oh, quite crazy. There's this real fun one I did a while ago that was 5 puzzles overlapping, each with different constraints (diagonal, extra regions, etc)

3 adrien thread...i didnt give up and eventually i got it

Yay! Congrats, then :)

really...

http://www.maa.org/editorial/mathgames/5-way-
hybrid.gif Copy/paste. Not as scary as it looks, thankfully

5 overlapping puzzles..i will surrender on that.

cool thks

Psh, you can do it! The even/odd was easiest, for me at least. Good luck!

cool..il give it a go...have u solved our sudoku today

3 points if u do :-)

Yeah, just a bit ago. I was getting frustrated, but got it eventually

it was difficult

do we get a prize if we accumulate a certain total?

:;)

A gold star and that good feeling inside? I have no clue =D

glory

i guess a good feeling is "priceless" :D

Time to go :) See you later

ok..me too..catch u next time.. bye all.

YAY... Finished!!!

Done! For a hard, that was fairly easy... I've had tougher times with mediums.

ok...I never post...but I just finished my first Sudoku puzzle EVER! i am pumped!!...usally end up with 3-5 sqrs...not today!!! DONE!

New player here....need help solving this puzzle.

if you haven't read the 'how to play', that'll help you :)

thanks

np ... good luck! :)

btwrt, i am dumb. i am trying to play with a headache

doctors say sudoku cures headaches

i was faked out at first by how easy it was to get started ... but now i've been on one spot for half the day. d'oh

maybe i ought to be applying it to my forehead then, instead of staring at it?

I feel your pain, btwrt

i'm either missing something, or i have not properly done my possibles

thanx robo

oh, thank goodness i'm not the only one at this all day

I've been stopping by between classes and confusing myself. I finally just started over.

i did just now too, robo. i've been woking on it all day and screwed something up... i think my headache made me think i knew everything, and i obviously made a mistake

haha. woking in it all day. woRking on it all day.

and now i want stir fry!

i don't want to start over because i don't think i've messed up... i think i'm missing something ...

well i just had a nice glass of wine. and by nice, i mean, i don't own wine glasses so i used a REGULAR cup. haHA

jellus!

what sort of wine?

if i'm quiet for a while, it's because i fell out of my chair

are you feeling too warm? (lol)

Riunite - soft red wine. i got it at sams so it was cheap but i like it. not too warm yet!

that's a good wine in a pinch, for sure.

nm i started over

mmm.

pluggin away!

I got to a point and got stuck - I ended up just setting a check point, making a guess, and moving on from the guess. After the 3rd guess I finished it. I wonder how I could have logic-ed out? I sure couldn't figure it out.

by 3rd guess I mean the 3rd time I went back to my checkpoint and made a different guess

stuck stuck stuck

Press on regardless!

w00t! i finished

awesome, btwrt

it was really easy ... i must have screwed up someplace before. bad logic or something

i guess 'really easy' is the wrong way to put it

Yeah, I'd say that!

since it took me all day. rather ... going back from the beginning and already know the spots that were hard, made it go quick

thx Limer (& sorry)

np

starting over here

keep at it, hokie carla

Nailed that Puppy!

Rank me, baby!

corporal

How ya doin', GingerUK

wow, that took me soooo long

these checkpoints are great thoguh

good luck every one

I Did it !!!

Only 1 guess...

Did it!

Finally!

NORNNA !!

nornna

MINT !!

what does nornna mean?!

http://nornna.net

that was.... interesting

Dare I look?

so nornna is a person eating spaghetti?

am SO confused

Well, at least I have all the 1's now.

yayy david

small victories!

Heh.

i dont get it

why would you chat

we chat instead of (or in tandem with) banging our heads agains the desk

*against

wow. this one's hard

why do anything

are we all doing the same puzzle?

yeah this is hard

yup ryan

i got all the ones and nothing else

whew one guess and it all fell into place

what is ajax about the game

is it just the chat

seems to be

ryan: the whole game board UI is AJAX

can u change difficulty?

nope

the numbers are all images, and the UI is redrawn through AJAX

i meant nope to difficulty change

although, it's a DUMB use of AJAX

all the board validation logic could be done 100% in client-side JS

why is xml or remote scripting needed for sudoku

I figured it was

ryan: it isn't.

yeah100% client side

I don't think there's ajax on the screen drawing

your right

the better question is who'd pay $14.95 for sudoku?

any developers here?

i'm here

seems like a lot of people given the huge stack of sudoku books at borders

what do you develop with?

oh - the "save as checkpoint" is probably AJAX.

I used to do these puzzles in dell magazine as a kid

Eclipse

yes you right

though that could be done with a cookie

true.

and probably should.

but the returncheckpoint

would be ajax

not if it was a cookie.

and i guess peopledisable cookies

really if it was a cookie you would have to do a reload

?

why?

just client-side DHTML

oh.

there is a microsoft AJAX/ATLAS contestif any interest

i was doing remote scripting years ago

but haven't done any ajax or atlas

when i did i did it i used hidden frames,client side passed querstyrings to hidden frames, serverside scripts ran than updated whatever applicable controls to parent pagevia javascript

guess it's a lot better now.

yes. AOL's been doing this for year

the netscape guys figured it out 10 years ago, called it "DIG"

it's not "better" now - just shiny because there's a new influx of college freshman again

everything is "interesting" shortly after september

i got deployed come back and everyone is likeyou got to see this AJAX stuff and i'm like this is old.still cool,glad more people are usingit, gmail good example

flickr too.

but flickr's more cool for the open APIs and sane use of DHTML

i'm going to enter the atlas contestmind if i bounce my two ideas off you?

sure.

what would you rather see ajax/atlas do, a snake game where user can edit levels, change images such as part of snake with images they upload

or

mapping application that uses custom images like to build an office locator on your intranet

Numbers are still falling into place but I'm scared it's about to stop

ryan: hard choice. neither, really.

what would you like to see

that you havent

mapping is boring, done to death

and would be useful for you and you don' tthink would be that hard

snake game? not very interesting ...

even with own level editor?

um, the snake game is the "don't eat your tail" game right?

correct

I didn't think there WERE levels to edit ... just your tail getting longer

snake games are lame

no.. kind of like tetris

Walls can be added

to ways to play

you have the blank square

that's too contrived for me, sorry

where only obstacle is you

or levels where you have to avoid wall designs as well

I really think a game that requires AI would be a neat application of AJAX

heck, do an AJAX checkers

ah YES

with drag-and-drop of checker pieces

achk

and the client pings the computer for its move

the puzzle, my brain, the twain shan't meet

yes.

and you can optionally play against other human opponents

unfortunately i haven't done AI before

Ajax Game of Go

but i'm sure there is code out there

basically, reinvent Yahoo! Games, except remove the Java Crapplets with AJAX

dplass, i feel ya

yeah. Go, Bridge, etc.

or ajax scrabble

right

any game

maybe i could do that

no ai

use real people

rules are trivially easy. most have simple pieces - preload the graphics

use a single PNG and do sprites

word checker would be ajax

ryan: you're welcome :)

did you solve this puzzle

not yet, too busy talking ... let me wrap it up

caffienatedelf: i just tried to read

http://www.simes.clara.co.uk/programs/sudokut
echniques.htm

but my brain melted

take care thanks for idea.

so, i shan't solve this one neither [sic]

ryan - if you want to get feedback -- dossy@panoptic.com

dplass, that one kind of made my brain melty when i read it too

Oooh, down to six

awesome, david!

six what?

i have quite a few more than that to go, lol

and one

and then there were none

*confetti*

A few "easy" ones have foiled me recently but this one didn't seem bad

Thanks, elf :)

this one seems to be testing the regions of my brain that are less than familiar with different sudoku techniques

yw :)

All I know is to mark all the possibilities and eliminate

yh

i think those regions melted

yah, i mant

AUGH. keyboard sticking. *meant

ok, dumb question.

dplass, get yourself some chocolate or its comforting equivalent

bleahch.

what's your question?

Twins and triplets I can spot, usually

twins i see too

but i have too many damn 1/2, 2/3, 1/3 combos

I've got too many pairs ... gruntle

bunches of those, for sure

if i have 6/7/8, 6/8, 7/8, can i get anything from that?!

i've mapped out my remaining squares, and I just can't see the next elimination . sigh.

dplass: depends on the configuration, I think

it doesn't SEEM so, dplass, but then again i haven't solved this yet either

ahsgaskjdghaskuegsa'

don't freak, dplass!

I'm about to guess ... :-)

Not yet, dplass, but don't forget they can't show up anywhere else in their context

what?

If you have 6/7/8, 6/8, 7/8, those three numbers must appear there and cannot appear anywhere else in the row/column/block, whichever it is

why not

(dont hurt me)

Because you don't have any other possibilities for those blanks

oh, that' slike a triple triple thingus

If you use them somewhere else you can't solve those three

i'm at a complete loss here

i wish i could sit over someone's shoulder and watch them solve it and show me exactly HOW

This one involved a lot of that kind of elimination

i'm guessing now

for me at least

dplass, take a screenshot, post it somewhere

we can give you hints :

:)

I thought I was stuck at one point until I ran through the columns and found something I'd missed

yeah, it's been about 8 hrs past that point David

david mitchell: yeah, same here

I'll take a look if you want to post a screenshot, dplass

thanks, but i'm going to quit (yet again)

Aww

aww dplass

bye

hope you do better tomorrow

yay. solved it. about time.

w00t dossy!

man, that was actually hard :)

actually impressed at the quality of the puzzles at this site.

agh. i tried guessing but that didn't work, so it's back to my checkpoint for me

I think that link dplass posted is going to help men

err

me, me

HEEHEE!

haha

again with the stupid guessing. sigh.

good luck, elf :) if you need help ... :-)

i DO, but i am unsure how you could help me at this point, i've gotten so confused, lol

caff: take screenshot, post somewhere, send us the URL

hmm...

done

stane: congrats :)

thx

oo-rah

although i am rather rankled in that i had to guess once

but i did it!

night all

only 2.5 hours to a fresh puzzle...

woo, grats 'elf

G'night, elf :)

and g'night, all

i just did my very first easy puzzle on websudoku, and now i'm trying this one. worth a try, right? :)

jreis: um, this one IS hard.

dossy: yeah, i am struggling a bit, but i like a challenge

good luck.

thanks

is there any way of playing previous puzzles?

i don't think so

it's not right when your wife (surfing on her own computer) makes a comment about some girl's "boobilicious boobs" and then refuses to show you.

i feel your pain ;)

though... i suppose you could stop at "not right when your wife makes a comment about some girl's boobs".

done, yeah!

that one seemed not too bad, only started at 8am this morning....

Hi :)

hi

nice flag ;)

eek! ;>

They were very kind and did it not too long ago as there wasn't one available :)

lucky girl. By the way, this is not too hard

:)

Finally I figured it out!

Okay, that wasn't too bad. I did that in less than an hour, but I struggled with yesterday's puzzle. :/

comeon new puzzle!
