wow... gotta run out sooner than I thought. Only filled in 2 so far! Back later...

yowch! crosshatching only yields two squares (maybe more on a second pass)

Use the intersections.

What does "use the intersections" mean?

If any one number occurs twice or three times in just one unit (any row, column or box) then we can remove that number from the intersection of another unit.

second pass got five more.. a couple I should have gotten first pass. Going for low-hanging fruit now (checking spots where there's fewer than three open squares in a region)

Done

I didn't use intersections, but there were naked pairs and triples that helped me a lot

see you all tomorrow!

Go.

Done. I didn't get far without greens, but it was cinchy after putting them in.

If I hadn't forgotten to look for loners, I probably could have done it no greens.

Done! Easy once I added the greenies. No guesses required.

nailed that puppy

rank me, baby

no green or red

Cue theme muzak

(Not on today's puzzle) Dont't you hate when you're working something and you accidentally hit "Save as Checkpoint" instead of "Return to Checkpoint?" >_<

hey bunny, guess what? I completed my first Babble, Yay Me.

Good for you, now you are definately hooked!

Yes Maam

I signed up at babble, but, it's just not my type of puzzle. I'm a numbers guy :D

oh but its soooo much fun

I love babble, but it's very time consuming, and I run my mouth too much. Really nice group of people in there too.

very time consuming

Yay! I can honestly say that I've now completed all 2007 puzzles here! Now to keep on workin' backwards.

Yeah, I'm runnin' thru the archives too, pretty far behind. (I'm glad Babble doesn't have archives).

Just finished Monday's puzzle. That wasn't difficult at all!

OMG! It just started snowing!

We won't see snow til around Christmas again, if we see it at all. (Texas).

Yes, it's snowing here in MA.

I'm in MA just above Boston. We are supposed to get 1-3 inches of snow but I didn't expect it to start until much later tonight.

Yeah said it would cool down over the weekend (GA)

I'm on the North Shore

You could say that Zak. It is supposed to be sunny with highs in the low 40's here this weekend.

We're in Stoneham.

Where on the NS? My Inlaws are in Marblehead.

yeah this stupid global warming we had in the 80's last week, and 50's tomorrow

Marblehead; daughter in Reading

oh no!

That's funny Frane.

small world

I just updated my icon pic to my daughter's 1st day of skiing.

She sure has a head full of hair, cute!

Getting off my bum, see ya'll later.

if you don't see her in ski equipment refresh your screen. Yes she does have quite a bit of hair. funny mine is strait and blonde. hers is brown and curly.

Finished yesterday's puzzle. I did something wrong yesterday and had to start over but never got back to it.

Has anyone noticed a puzzle that they've completed revert back to incomplete? I thought I completed March 30th.. but it's all blank. It happened with another puzzle last week, too. Or am I just going crazy? (Which is completely possible.. I just want to be sure about it. :))

Sorry, but I haven't noticed anything like that.

OK, so crazy it is. Thanks.. lol.

Life's no fun if you aren't a little bit crazy... ; )

Haha, yes. I fully embrace the crazy.

occasionally something like that happens, at least it's happened to me at least twice.

I hit the back button once when I had almost completed an expert in the archives.
