this is supposed to be hard?

done

well, good for you, but I am stuck! :)

Done. :) Finally.

Not hard at all.

hi all

straight forward

reasonably straight forward

hi all

done

Not too bad at all, now to finish off a couple I missed

can someone help me ...i am kinda stuck

certainly, what sort of help do you require?

i finish 4 boxes and have most of the middle row empty

and now i am down to like number that can appear twice

do you know about marking with little green numbers?

i am not a pro member...so i didnt but i wrote it down on my own sheet of paper

i believe you can use the marks even if you are not pro...

shift-click doesn't do anything for you?

oh haha it does, sorry i am kinda new here

that's quite alright

i am just a little frustrated because i keep getting number with two possible places ..if you know what i am talking about

do you know about naked pairs?

no i do not ...please inform me :)

if you have two boxes where there are 2 numbers that can only go there, then no other numbers can go there.

it helps you eliminate some possibilities.

yea i know ... so i marked them off

this principle also works for more than 2 numbers.

since those naked pairs are mostly vertical it is hard to figure them out

there is another trickity trick

sudokus have one unique solution

this means that if you have 4 squares lined up in two different groups, you can't have the same pair of numbers in both of them, cause if you did, they would be interchangeable and there would be two solutions

interesting ... i think this is why i am addicted to sudoku...so many little tricks to learn

if you examine the ends of the third and fourth rows, you may find it fruitful

well, a little fruitful.

elimination wise.

icic.. i wil give it a look

have you considered the situation of the 1's in the right third of the grid?

yea i am looking at it right now

it is useful.

that should get you there.

"there" is a word which here means "to the end"

(been reading lemony snicket...)

hehe thanks alot

ah finally solved it

hank you so much

is it really worth it to get the pro-membership ?

morning everyone

morning

hallo

yay, another 3 points :)

another easy hard one !

go

hello

hello there yul

hershy, good to see you dear

oh, thanks, good to see you too. how are you doing?

i had lots of dimsums just now and thinking of musel as a litlle pithon. how is your Sunday going?

Done, easy for a hard, Rank me....

musel as a little pithon? my sunday is fine thanks

myself :)

let me go meooooooooooow, like a kitten in the sun
let me go meooooooooooow, cute paws, i know you're the one

OH

i could hardly talk :)

like the one in the little prince that ate an elephant?

well i guess that would be a big python.

but drawing was small

yes.

how many cats do you have at the moment, hershy?

hurshy, sorry

i have 3 cats, and have had 3 cats for... let's see... approximately 3.24 million moments

(assuming moment = minute)

i am looking after one big black one, who could play me too well :\

if moment equals second then 60 times as much so about 200 million moments.

play you? what does it do?

it does things :D

Ahhh, someone else with 3 cats also!

my cats do things to, but they don't play me.

oops *too

my cats are very well behaved.

it knows that i have a soft spot for it so he demands extra food from me (and only me) even he has to be on a strict diet :(

OH

don't you watch dr. phil?

or the dog whisperer?

children, dogs, and cats - all need to know that you are in charge.

The alpha cat, as it were.

yes although i don't quite know how it works with cats cause they aren't pack animals like dogs, are they?

It's like being the mother cat.

<-- now this cat here, my marty, he is mischievous

so sometimes i have to yell at him to get down from somewhere or something

we don't have dr.phil in the uk. this cat knows i am in charge, but he is so cute an he makes little crying noises. it hard for me to resist him

and then he meows at me SO pathetically and needs a hug, like he is saying "don't you love me anymore?"

but will that stop me from yelling at him? no.

wrapped around his little cat nail..../

mitten wants more food than is good for her and meows plaintively as well. like the drug slogan goes... JUST SAY NO

It's hard to do that with 3 of them, they eat each other's food all the time.

yes, i am wrapped a bit. it's good i don't have to look after him all the time.

my cats seem to each be assertive enough that they each get enough.

they all try to eat the others' food before they finish their own...quite illogical.

mine don't have specific food that is "theirs", i just put out enough for all 3 and they eat some all together and then as they are hungry later they go back and finish it off

since they are maintaining their weight, it seems to be fine.

norinva, are you in the US?

we used to have two cats and one was eating cat food of anoter. one of the cats only liked chiken and prones and other was hoovering all the cat food without any problems and became diabetic :(

I have a seriously overweight one with psychological problems. I think she was starved before I got her, so she eats everything in sight.

marty just has a picky stomach, used to throw up a lot. had to get special food from the vet for awhile which was too expensive for all of them to eat and i had to prevent them each from eating each others' food then. but then i found purina one sensitive systems and i just feed that to all of them and we're all good.

Mine are all seniors now and are on old kitties food. you'd think they wouldn't gain weight that way...!

i just kept weighing them all on a baby scale every week until i found the right amount of food that they maintain a steady weight.

I'm thinking about going with more meals but timed with less food several times a day.

my cats sleep with me, so i have to feed them just before bed so that they aren't bugging me for food during the night, lol

Yes, although they know I get up early on workdays, so if I'm not getting up soon enough for them on weekends, one of them starts biting my fingers. I can tell the weather is getting cooler, since they are starting to sleep with me more.

do you live in the US? cause if so, check out www.catgenie.com

buting fingers! so noughty

they aren't shipping them overseas yet, but plan to next year

If you don't have an alarm clock, it's quite effective!!

just checked it out, looks pretty cool. Not one of my favorite jobs for sure. I'll look more later.

mine is coming tomorrow! *hums happily*

let me know how it works out. i'm interested.

you might want to check out this website, it's a forum, people comment on all sorts of litterbox options: http://www.litterbox-central.com/forum/index.

that forum is where i learned of the cat genie's existence.

mine onel "playbite", not to draw blood (usually!)

only not onel, darn fingers!

people that have already gotten theirs have posted about it so it's the best way to really learn about it.

I'll read up on it later on. thx
