This is a medium? - got all 2s and 3s already

Ooh, new puzzle

the ranking system is kinda screwy

Forgot about it 'til just now

but it could be hard later

Meant to help somebody finish yesterday's, oops

and 1s

Haha, it's probably just in disguise

it will pwn us later!

this puzzle lacks ample fourage and sixage

haha we should fourage for more sixes ;)

boooo!

ok, I laughed

sweeet

:D

and done!

done

wow

congratz

Good job

It's gonna be a while for me

Amazing! Good going!

done too!

easiest on I've done here

you know what makes me angry? i did my sudoku, but printed it out, and finished it today. and guess what? i lost it. ugh. and, by the time i got home, it was too late to get my stupid points. right now that makes me mad.

yeh it seems it so far

and... don't you hate how these are really addicting?

oh don't worry spazzy... be happy :)

i like that song.....

metoo

I'm done..

done and out

wow, ppl cleanin house tonight B)

this should have been ranked easy

easiest all week

It's the Dr... he tries to trick us...

lolz

W00t, i'm done 2

i'm out... later rooom

Cya Mot..tc

Nailed That Puppy!

Rank me, Baby!

Gah, I'm feeling pretty slow

Fours and Sixes can go to hell right now

I'm with you SeedyV ........It's all 4's and 6's and a few 7's and no way to get rid of them

Ooh, I think I'm starting to get it

You have to think about which possibilities would prevent you from placing those numbers in other boxes

I'm better with these when I can mark all over the grid :P

You can!

That's one way to think about it. Generally strategies tend to overlap one another.

Shift-click to mark as possible

Ahhhh tyvm

Or alt-click to mark as impossible (red)

Duly noted, nice features

Hmm, that didn't get me much that I'm seeing..

Oh, duh.

I'm waiting for the moment when I finally figure it and go "Wow, I'm such a dumba**." Happens every damn time.

Just happened here. :)

Finished!

G'night/day, folks.

This started out so easy........Now I'm starting over.....Must have made a careless error in my early euphoria....rats!

cookie, That's why I perfer computer sudoku over paper sudoku

Of course, my wife likes to do it in pen! :-)

I would never be able to do it in pen......What is her secret?

new to the game

LOL, That's right!

well welcome, its hard as crap at times, and yet always addicting

Welcome, Shorty. Good luck

Thanks

OTOH, I just left the page without saving a checkpoint. Doh!

Hello Shortie

Hey there.

done!, its 3:20 in the morn where i live, so im gone, gnight/day to all of you, and gl to you shortie

thanks, goodnight to you!

good night

hi all

morning

night all

This was more difficult than I anticipated.......Finally done!

Watch out for those fours and fives and sixes!!!!!Goodnight all! Good luck!

Fin!

That's it for me. Good morning all..

this is rough

im stuck

Another of those obscure 'medium's. Morning all :)

first time I've had to 'guess' got it though.

night all

So far I am still reasoning it out, but I am only halfway. Congrats and good night.

the first half comes pretty easy... then the 4,5,6 are all over it.

They are nasty indeed. Well, I love a challenge ;)

finished :) moving over to babble ...

wtg Atalante!

4's can be everywhere! Gahhh

6's too!!

done... with just one guess...

see what you mean about the 4s and 6s!

is it really possible with logic?

Hi all

Finished! Didn't have the guess.

Er, "to guess". ;)

456.... 46... 45... 456....

They're everywhere! :-)

Medium !!!! im so stuck. yeah i know thats what i always say lol

i am too

4s, 5s, and 6s. grrrr

Stuck here too. At least I was making progress on getting taxes finished. :-/

Be back later... good luck y'all.

omg... i just found the trick! woooo!

yay, nailed!

Yes! Got it.

with no guesing!

who thinks you need to guess

It wasn't hard, medium was a good ranking

done

:-)

my left eye for a 4 or a 6

done!

seriously, 4's and 6's are tough

this was my first time... completed in just under an hour

yeesh. 4, 5, and 6. sucky numbers this game

wow, i was totally stuck on the 4,5,6 for about an hour. did some laundry and came back... solved it in about 2 mins! if your stuck at that point, walk away for a while!

there was a 49 box im not sure about. im not sure if my logic is considered a guess or not. ;)

it was an elimination based on linked pairs

i was def able ot place the 9's without guessing

for me, it was one of those situations where you say "this box can be X or Y. if it's X, this box must be a 9. if it's Y, this same box must be a 9, so that box is a 9"

that's sort've guessing

sounds logical to me!

hehe

not a guess if you know it has to be 9

sounds certain ot me

by the same logic, though, you could say that's how you solve the entire board. ;) "if this box is a 1, then the board cant be solved. if it's a 2, it cant be solved, etc, etc, etc

trial and error is still guessing

but that would take a freaking long time

dunno. im still claiming victory. ;)

yeah, good job!

done.

oh, this sucks!

I learned a new rule from this one that I've sensed before but never analyzed. If you have 4 squares that can be respectively: AB, AD, BC, BCD, then the second one (the AD) has to be A, because if it were D that would leave AB, BC and BC which would be impossible. Not sure how to state it in a general way though :)

good one, larry!

wait - i dont' see it

larry...if you had ab/bc/bc why couldn't it be a/b/c or a/c/b ? I'm not sure I follow

whoops let me think about that I may have got my letters confused /blush

AB, BC and BC... why is that impossible? it would just simplify to A, BC, BC

Thanks larry!!! not sure if i get it, lol

this is easier than yesterdays.

well it was

I've got 29 of 81 boxes filled with green!

i dont like doing that.... it confuses me

i cant figure out the 4s and 6s, but the 1s 3s and8s were pretty easy.

you pretty much have to use some greens on this because there are so many 4/6 pairs

It'd be fun if you could start over on a puzzle after completing it, so you could try other strategies

I solved it in the middle of the night :|

i had to guess a 9 - but luckily guessed the right one!

David - you're sad - going through the agony once a day is enough for most people!

hello!

it's the wac

you better believe it!

how's it going hurshy?

fine except slight cold

Heh, Linda

ah shucks. . thats no good

Aww, hurshy, hope you feel better soon

ty :)

That puzzle shoulda been marked as simple :)

not all of us are as brilliant as you yet. . .but congrats! ;)

strategy question: If one has a,b; a,c; and a,b,c - can anything be done?

No.

You mean other than eliminating a, b and c from the other open squares?

snic - no, they're the only 3 left open. (sorry, should have put that in my q.)

then psycho_puppy was right. you're stuck.

You may have gone wrong somewhere along the line...

no, psycho,I don't think something's wrong - ultimately, I can work it out, but just wanted to know if there was a trick (like a,b; a,b; a,b,c; - you can make the 3rd box c by eliminating a&b)

why is this one taking me so long!

i just don't understand!

done - Ithought it was more difficult than yesterday's

good job

huzzah 2 points

unfortuantely i guessed

yes! i'm unstuck! but i still have a lot to go....

numbers numbers

have you ever done a sudoku with letters?

not yet

hijo de hijo

me neither but i think it would be more confusing.if thats possible.

sorry

key stuck

haha i love when that happens! i dont know why....

hahahah

that was fun but i'm still nervous

why nervous?

i'm going to go find more escapes

what are escapes?

i hate the fours!!

HiYa

hey tasha!

Whats up did you finish yesterdays?

no but i had this one almost done but i forgot to save a checkpoint when i went to babble so i have to start over.

man i've been having a rough time with this stuff lately

oh i am sorry to hear that i almost finished yesterdays i had five more open spots lol but i had to sleep

im determined to finish this one!

i am getting better because i have the bottom 3 big boxes down

do you have any of the fors?

yeah i have a few down

would you like to know where my 4's are???? lol i will tell you if you want

uhh...sure but i think that is cheating...

okay if you dont want to cheat then i wont tell you

the way i did it was that i just started to find a place to put the numbers in the very bottom row first and it just got better from there

thinking hard...

ok where is the 1 in the 3rd box down?

it is in the very left hand bottom corner i think that is the one you are talking about

yes thank you that is one i lost with the checkpoint!

do you know where the 7 is in the very top left hand box?

not yet but ill tell you when i get it

how bout the 4 in the top right hand box

it has to be in the third row down (the7) and i dont have the for either

don't give away answers!

i totally such

*suck

Wooot...finished it in 10 minutes

kristin i envy you

i do too

dang it im gettin frustrated

i have resorted to green numbers......:(

arghi just botched it and i never saved

i know hw you feel

only been playing for a few games - this is the first one i've finished, but had to resort to green numbers to try out some locations for 4s and 6s. Got lucky and got it right first time - keep trying!

thank you tom. but im still a little frustrated. im really good at these on paper, even the hard 16x16 puzzles.

these are a lot harder than the ones on paper

and the difficulty level often means nothing to me

I can do the 16x16 on paper as well

what do you guys mean by the green numbers?

shift-click

the 16x16 in my book has letters and it freaked me out, but its not as hard as it looks, its just tedious.

green #s are possible answers hold shift when you click a #

the 16x16 are tedious, these take some complex logic and strategy to solve

both of which i lack

currently me too

finished in 11 minutes

i dont get how you do the green number thingy

read the How to Play

when you click on a space to fill in with a number, hold shift and click a number

you can put more than one number in a box (possibilities) by holding the shift key before clicking a number

exactly

but why would you use the green numbers just to see what you can put there right?

it helpos to eliminate during more complex stragies

oops

strategies

personally, the green numbers confuse me.

I use them liberally

does that mean alot?

yes, a lot

And I'm done... good luck!

sorry, imsp-ed

tasha are you done yet?

pfeewwwww...took a guess on a four and it worked....

that one was pretty easy...

no i am not i have like 4 empty spaces left

are you scribble

i am starting over because i made a huge mistake on it

OOH THAT REALLY SUCKS

i know

sorry didnt mean to yell

its okay

can you help me with the eights in the bottom first 2 boxes?

i think that the 8 in the botton left box is in the middle

thanks i needed that desperately

are you almost done scribble

i only have like 4 more openings but i am so stuck its not funny jeeze GOSH this really sucks i almost got it

IM GETTING THERE SLOWLY

oops yelling again sorry......stupid caps lock

i gtg eat dinner but yeah i will try to be back to put numbers in those stupid 3 spots i have left to fill lol

let me no if i can help

do you know what number can go in the middle of the bottom middle box that may sound confusing sorry if it does

its either 5 or 6

sorry im not much of a help

finally

did you finish?

how goes the sudoku, loly?

sleeping baby on chest, laptop battery about to die. Don't want to get up to plug it in - what to do what to do!

lots of gren numbers tonight hursh : /

mostly 4's and 6's :)

er, that should have been green :)

yup! : )

i know :)

(and you know i know, and i know you know i know)

..but i knew thatyou'd know that i'd know that you knew that i knew!

LOL

hursh, have you seen narnia?

of course

i haven't...yet! But there is a song from the movie called 'can't take it in'...do you know it?

hmm... it must have been wordless, i don't recall any singing... unless it was during the credits?

might be. it's just come on my iTunes and I wanted to tell you that I saw Imogen Heap (the singer of the song!) last week and she is fabulous. Check her out if you can : )

okie dokie :)

aaaaaaaugh!!!! thought my checkpoint was farther along than it was

there is an amazing line in the song...'every hair on my body, has a thing for this place'...love it! : )

:)

i have read the books like five million times...

i read them as a child but want to read them again. At the rate I'm going it will be to Izzy, lol! : )

well that will be fun!

i still check the back of old wardrobes... : )

lola, I am reading them to my 6 month old. Sje has no clue, but it teaches her language paterns, etc. She loves listening to me read them

dino, that's a great idea! Izzy is nearly four so will be ready to understand them soon : )

=)

yay, finally done!

congrats - but you're probly gone :)

I gotta BOX! i know that sounds pathetec, but... whatevah

yay! *claps*

I wish I could say the same. >_<

my brother is helping me, probably i wouldn't have gotten it without him cause im so impatient

eii

argh!

I'm stuck!

hey all!!!!

hello

hello

hey

hi anjelwithaj

well i'm done that wasn't relly hard

what is with the 4, 5 & 6's..........

Yay... done.

That certainly took long enough.... I'm still ticked I had to guess. :-/

yeh

Good luck everyone!!! G'night, too.

woo, that wasnt so hard

woooo! When you sit and think about it, it is actually possible. I only had one guess =) My first puzzle

er... my first completed puzzle

It's actually possible without guessing

I'd love to talk to you about how on that one. My upper and lower right corners were where I had to guess.. is it the 4 or the 6? I didn't see anything that made it obvious.

Okay... let's see

(How do you see the puzzle again?)

I made two screenshots earlier

I don't know of another way

ah

I'm trying to recall where it broke for me

Sheesh, this is hard

hee!!

Did you have any boxes or rows or columns completed when you got stuck?

I had one, the first column, when I got stuck

Yeah, I had the first column done

Then there was an option in the last column where the two empty spots were either 4 or 6 and that is where I had to guess. But after that, it was smooth sailing

Well, that's the thing, they fell out for me

Hmm

Nice. This was the first one I actually sat to think about, so I'm sure I'll do better on the next one. It'll fall out for me at some point

I'm not trying to brag

I don't like guessing :)

Still haven't quite found what I found last night when I solved it, though

Oh, didn't think you were bragging - more experience playing here.. I don't like guessing, either, but at least it was one of 2 and I checkpointed right before. It was easy if I guessed the wrong one. Othertimes, I have totally FUBARed the whole thing and had to start over.

I'm going to start making a screenshot when I have my eureka moment

That would be more helpful

=)

Bah, I'm not going to find it tonight

I'll let you know if I figure it out again

I need sleep :)

Me, too - night!

G'night, y'all.
