done, not bad... must first fill in all greens first, though

anybody having success without greens?

Only 6 or 7 numbers before I went green.

yeah, i appear to be stuck. sigh. green it is.

What a neat Hard puzzle.

so easy with green, but i couldn't see it without. maybe someday i'll get there.

Well I'm still stuck, even with greens in play. I'm just missing something

same here

Look for hidden pairs.

What are hidden pairs?

Thanks

Difficulty score 45. Techniques needed: cross hatching, missing digit scan, region intersection analysis, naked pair and hidden pair analysis.

once marked with green, the chink in the wall is immediately evident. interesting.

quite easy ;)

what the ? the lines are darker.. why ?

the diagram looks worse now.. there should be an option for people who don't want the dark lines

I don't see any difference?

the thin lines

the thin lines are darker

done

hello everybody

hey yul how are you?

god morning

hay, Moozey, I'm fine :)

good to hear it ;o)

And you?

not too bad thank you, just tucking into a late lunch, flighting between sudoku, Times crossword and reading entertainment weekly. So a bit all over the place hahaha

Today's puzzle is a particularly nice one... I like this level

I'm at the greenie stage UDmas...too tired to attempt it without them

Energetic ;)

Green's here too, but I don't mind using them

nah just not able to focus on any one thing at the moment hahaha

one of those "2 martini lunches???"

oh I don't mind using them too, just a little lost hence flitting between things. Martini's ...I wish haha

you know, I have never had a martini... margarhitas, white russiands, cape cods...yes...

actually I have never had a martini...always fancied one though

umm... ignore the spelling booboos... 18 degrees here & my hands are still cold

Moozey, did you ever had a lunch at Oxo tower restaurant?

yes last week...how did you know ;o)

I made a guess and I was lucky hahaha, that is me done ;o)

18 degrees is very cold... When I woke up it was 21 and freezing...

so are you going to eat there yul?

I just wanted to know is thre a set price for a lunch there

Not on the 8th floor but the bistro on the 2nd probably does

I can always check for you because I work in the incredibly tall building opposite it

I think the 8th floor is too much for me at the moment :[

hey I only went to the 8th because I was taken...I wouldn't spend that money there

and to be honest the food on the 8th wasn't spectacular for the money spent and the service wasn't anything to right home about

If you are in the restaurant next time, please, look it up for me?

I see... I shall better go to bar Shu. Have you been there?

oops... I hat it when this happens... meant to "save as checkpoint" but clicked "start over"... oh well... maybe I'll try again later. Have a good one guys.

well the restaurant on the second floor is called tamesa and they have Christmas menus.... http://www.oxotower.co.uk/tamesa.html

oooh, never mind, see you soon UDbmas

not tried the Shu bar where is that?

bye UDbmas

Bar Shu is the new Chinese with an authentic Sichuan coocking

The food tastes so unusual and it is very popular right now.

If you avoid fish and sea food (which are prised from £18-£70) per main course you could find great beef, vegi and pork mains around £8.

It is 28 Frith Street W1D 5LF. www.bar-shu.co.uk

and the portions are very large, even the starters

i can't finish it . any clues

i mean, any clues, people ? ;)

I'm just starting so I can't help yet...

I'm just started

sorry got pulled away there yul, sounds quite interesting and I think I will need to chck that out.

sorry i made a guess and a lucky one

I recommend it highly, especially sea bass in pepper broth for £28 ( feeds 4 people easily) and 'smacked' cucumber

cool

Found an x-wing... that helped.

i can only think of bar shu now

That x-wing blew it open. All done!

Anyone need clues?

Ok, heading out. Have a good day all!

good day Andy

done! with an x-wing! thanks for the clue, Andy

what's an x-wing?

it's when you have only 2 same figures in two rows or columns and exclude extra same numbers beyond the 'rectangle' made from 'same' numbers

it's better explained on simple sudoku site

do you know a site yul

t is on my machine which is in repair now :(

sorry to hear that

google simple sudoku, pabtrek

thanks

you are wellcome

yul, it's your season

ha, hello hurshy :D

hello

just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring ting tingling too

come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

outside the snow is falling and friends are calling yoo-hoo

come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

I would love it

i went on a sleigh ride in vermont one time

we don't get snow here :(

it would be better if you could drive yourself though.

where is that zug?

i used to do it in Russia

California of course. 50 miles from Tahoe

ah. california.

We are currently in what I would call Spring, after growing up in Washington State.

fresh snow and not too many trees on the way... such a fun

Two seasons here. Hot and Wet.

my son and I saw a sleigh a few months ago in Northern California. He didn't know what it was. "It doesn't have wheels Dad".

lol, doesn't he watch any christmas specials?

not so much any more. He's 16.

Done!

Whew, after several weeks I got the hardest easy on the archives: 7/28.

Hi
