Done

not hard, done without any greens

indeed, no forcing-guesses reqd. i need greens to keep track of pairs tho.

this is very hard! will i ever get there?

done! once the greens are in it slots into place

hi all

easy one :-)

no way!

No too bad after the greens.......

I'm restarting for the 3rd time which will be my final try!

just waaay too many greens. Usually there's more early spotters, here just one 9, one 8

Difficulty score = 22, it seemed tougher than that. Those little green numbers were essential today.

Done!!

franebrown - work with the 1 &4 in the bottom left hand square.

easy

go

done

anyone read Foxtrot from the Sunday comics?

no

there is a sudoku puzzle on there...with math equations for the starting numbers

couple of binaries, hex, factorials, etc...

I'll have to check that out

wanted to know if anyone has attempted it yet...might have to brushup on my math skills

No, copper, I haven't tried that puzzle and I won't! That's too far over my head!!

i just want to know if it possible before I try

oo fun i go look

hmm, yes, doable, but i don't know the FF-F8... is that from programming or something? without that, there isn't a unique solution.

there must be some programmers out there...

FF is an abbreviation for:

* Fast forward, a way of maneuvering a cassette tape or other linear media
* Form Feed, an ASCII control character
* Folios following - an archaic way of saying "and the following pages" (used in indexes)
* The US Navy Hull classification symbol for frigate.
* FF layout - front engine, front drive
* Fan fiction
* Fantastic Four
* Force field
* Fortissimo
* Fill factor
* Flip flop in digital logic
* Family Feud, a game show
* Fear Factor
* Finos Films, short form for the main filming company of Greece.
* Foo Fighters
* Final Fantasy, a popular video game title (FFa in fighting game circles)
* Fatal Fury, another video game (FFu in DOS FAT filenames)
* Final Fight, another video game (FFi outside fighting game circles)
* FireFox, the WWW browser (Incorrect but common usage. The correct abbreviation is Fx.)

none of those seem to help.

fooey.

ohhhhh, is there anybody out there?

Hi Hurshy

hi gwenski

i am a little flusterated.

Oh?

yes see down in the chat they said about this sudoku in the foxtrot comic today so i looked it up and i can do all but one of the calculations, i don't know what FF-F8 means.

I saw the comic strip, and noticed the chat when I came on.

I was thinking hexadecimal, maybe?

how does that work

ummmm.....

i google

Good idea.

cool that might be it! let me calculate now.

it works! that is 7!

WooHoo! I helped!!

i love you gwenski!!!! i never heard of this hexadecimal notation before!

you helped VERY much, you have made my day.

Enjoy the puzzle! I'm going to try to nail this one.

oh that puzzle is done now, i had everything but 4 boxes.

and i am rolling on this one too, yay.

Boy, you are quick!

Sorry. Should have said, Girl, you are quick!!

well i did all i could without that box first, you see, i was hoping i might not need it.

lol

ooooooooooooooo sole mio...

Drat. I'm doing something wrong. Twice now. I'll just have to get back to it later. Bye!

bye gwenski, thanks a million

however, i am done with this one now too if you want a clue.

Thanks for the offer, but I'll just work at it later. See ya around sometime, somewhere, probably!

how very definite.

and true!

yes :)

ttfn :)

hi gwenski - you a musician?

a bit tough to get started, but once the bottom regions get sorted, everything falls into place

Yes Hurshy the FF is hexadecimal, simlar to binary but base 16...you see those numbers when windows crashes on you somtimes...

How come I can finish "Hard" puzzles easier than "Medium"?
