Krys10
ok, kitty and i are starting
9:47 am
UnikeTheHunter
I hope kitty can help.
9:47 am
Krys10
she's getting better, though she gets 6's and 9's mixed up sometimes
9:53 am
UnikeTheHunter
Done. It was interesting. But nothing harder than a triplet, which broke it open.
9:54 am
Krys10
will watch for it. it's the row/block and column/block intersections that always get me
9:56 am
UnikeTheHunter
Oh. And there was one loner, which I didn't spot until I put in greens.
9:56 am
Krys10
Bah, not so very hard
9:56 am
Krys10
kitty and i are off to do other puzzles - later!
9:57 am
UnikeTheHunter
Kitty doesn't like the easy ones, I take it.
9:57 am
Krys10
UTH, where are you located in California? I was a math tutor full-time until I quit last June
9:57 am
UnikeTheHunter
I'm in Lodi, near Stockton.
9:57 am
Krys10
kitty likes the expert ones that keep my lap available for much longer
9:58 am
Krys10
i was working in berkeley, now living in SF
9:58 am
UnikeTheHunter
Oh, I see you keep auto-greens with your profile. Good idea.
9:59 am
Krys10
if you've ever played Set with your clients you might liek this:

9:59 am
UnikeTheHunter
Thanks, I'll try it now.
9:59 am
Krys10
I've seen people I don't know referring other people I don't know to my profile to get the green script, so I'm glad people know it's available
9:59 am
Krys10
and my mother - she occasionally deletes the desktop sticky note that I set up with it
10:01 am
UnikeTheHunter
My son deleted my auto-greens one time. I'm planning to program a new auto-greens that won't put back greens I've removed.

11:14 am
Limer
Sup, pera?
11:14 am

11:14 am
Limer
you can ask
11:15 am
pera
this is my first day with SuDoKu... >shy<
11:15 am
Limer
WOW you picked a wonderful time to get started. This puzzle is not the easiest to learn on.
11:16 am
pera
I started with the one I have found in the newspapers... and I riched some point but I cant go on...
11:17 am
Limer
Are you using greens?
11:18 am
pera
I got a bit familiar with logic of Sudoku...but still cant go on...? Sorry... I do not know whati it means... green... red...?
11:18 am
Limer
Where's Bangping
11:19 am
Limer
Hold down the shift key when the number box pops up. A green number will be put in the square. Green means that is a possible number for that square. You can add any number of green numbers in one square.
11:20 am
Limer
Click on an empty square.
11:20 am
Limer
A box of numbers pops up, right?
11:20 am
pera
aha... OK! I have got it...
11:21 am
Limer
excellente
11:21 am
Limer
You are just so smart.
11:21 am
pera
hihihi >shy<
11:21 am
Limer
You can do the same with the control key, those results will be red.
11:22 am
pera
OK... Got that one too... :)
11:22 am
Limer
you are awesome, uh, girlfriend, Boyfriend??
11:23 am
pera
you guess... ;)
11:24 am
Limer
I am a poor guesser.
11:25 am
pera
I am a boy...
11:25 am
Limer
Have you gotten the row second from the top
11:25 am
Limer
that's the first row I completed.
11:26 am
Limer
Can you get the 7
11:26 am
pera
uh... I am trying
11:28 am
pera
what level is this one...? easy, mid or hard...?
11:29 am
Limer
The difficulty is listed above the top right corner of the upper part of the puzzle.
11:29 am
pera
aha...ok...this is hard... :(
11:30 am
Limer
Yeah, it's hard, but not impossible. Try to get all of the 7's completed first.
11:30 am
Limer
You should get all of them but 2.
11:31 am
Limer
then in the second row, with the 7 filled in, try for the 9 in the second row.
11:32 am
pera
I am getting... random numbers... coz cant theother way...
11:33 am
pera
is it common logic to get one exact number first...?
11:34 am
Andy
Each puzzle is different
11:34 am
Limer
I usually start with one number that I can fill in the easiest.
11:34 am
Andy
My strategy is to start with a number, usually 1, and try to get all of the 1s I can. Then 2, then 3... then I start over. Once I can't get anymore that way, I move on to other strategies.
11:34 am
Limer
It just so happens with this puzzle, the number 7 in the second row kind of jumped out at me.
11:35 am
pera
Hi Andy! :)
11:37 am
pera
uhh... this one is realy hard for me...:)
11:38 am
Limer
gotta go folks, Andy, see ya, and nice to hear from you. Pera, have a great time with the puzzle. You can get it, keep trying and learning.
11:38 am
pera

11:47 am
pera
Is anybody there...?
12:07 pm

Wish I'd gotten here earlier today - potential difficulty. Let's see how it goes.
2:50 pm
brianarn
Wow - that was easier than I expected. Liberal greens, but, I figure that's okay. I had more trouble yesterday. :D
3:58 pm
ypsigirl

4:07 pm
Zugzug7
Done. Fell right into place.
4:39 pm
dorens
not all that hard
5:28 pm
kittybat
Fell into place pretty easily for me. Didn't even need very many greens. More like an 'easy-medium' than a 'hard'.
5:52 pm
bloodaxe
