hi there :)

hello

DONE

go

done, no greens - pretty easy...

Donr reasonable /w greens

go, not sure i have time to finish now though...

hey Andy :)

done

16 min with greens, no advanced techniques needed, just hidden and naked pairs really.

hey sprite!

I will never understand why ones like this are hard, and some I must restart twice are called easy :)
How are you doing?

And I think that I have gained enough points to move from newbies to the next ranking level :)

yay!

just waking up...

how are you this... well, it's dreary here... morning

?

Ah, I am being summoned to help get my son ready for and to school... have a great day!

you too! Had to send my kids off to school too :)

That was easy......

go

done!

Difficulty score 37. Actually, not that hard. One naked pair breaks it open, if you can see it!

hi all

whats a naked pair?

a good date

grin

when you have two cells in the same row/col/ or block which can only hold the same two values

If those two can only hold, say, 1 and 2, then no other cell in the same row/col/block (depending on which they occur in) can hold either value

ahh, ok, I use that all the time, so it should be easy enough

It's the hidden pairs I have trouble sometimes finding.

which ones are hidden pairs?

Same situation but you have more greens listed on those cells. If you look closely, you can see that there's still only two cells that, say 1 and 2 can be in so you can remove the other values from those two cells making them a naked pair.

very straight forward

more medium than hard

Hi everyone. What are "greens"? (New here, obviously!)

The equivalent of pencil-marking cells. Hold down shift when you enter a number to use them.

thanks...

go

hi all

wow - pretty easy for a hard!

Yeah, it wasn't too bad. I'm working on the hard from 1/24/07 and it seems more in line with what I expect from a hard. :D

easiest hard I've seen in a while

I had to green :( than it was easy

DONE!

I was concentrated; and used greens

done

grr...mayan warrior is catching up to me...

Time to solve more puzzles.

yes...i've solved...um...3 hards, 2 meds, and 1 easy in the last few hours to regain my status

Ah, but there is always more.

Unless you solve all of them, in which case there isn't.

at which point there's websudoku.com : )

I'm slowly working my way through all of them. I have one or two experts I'm stumped on so far, but otherwise, almost completely through 2007 and about to work back deeper.

Ok... expert rank from 4/12/06... this should be interesting...

falling asleep... finish in am

does anyone know what happened to March 30 on archies??
