There seems to be a problem. I solved this. Logged out. Came back to find that it is neither solved nor am I logged out. Calling DrGod. There seems to be a glitch.
12:37 am
Penguin

The second attempt appears to have worked (of course I thought the first one did). Time for bed. Good night.

Go.

UnikeTheHunter

Stuck after only two cells.
9:10 am
OrangeSlice

Look harder.
9:10 am
UnikeTheHunter

I'm looking.
9:10 am
drwho

Difficulty score 20. This one seemed harder than that to me.
9:11 am
OrangeSlice

Virtual crosshatching is the key.
9:11 am
drwho

I agree, but the computer only needed actual cross-hatching.
9:12 am
OrangeSlice

I got stuck at 3 until I started doing it.
9:12 am
UnikeTheHunter

Then isn't 20 a high score for only actuall crosshatching?
9:13 am
drwho

There seems to be more cross-hatching on rows and columns than usual.
9:14 am
drwho

It also seemed that I only found a few digits at a time. If the same is true for the computer, the score goes up even if only easy techniques are needed.
9:15 am
UnikeTheHunter

What does it mean," only a few digits at a time?"
9:15 am
OrangeSlice

Hmm, intersections work here too.
9:16 am
drwho

If you can only find 1 or 2 digits on a pass through the grid, and then only 1 or 2 on the next pass and so on.
9:17 am
UnikeTheHunter

I can't find any on a pass.
9:19 am
UnikeTheHunter

Ah, got one more.
9:19 am
drwho

Does that make 3, or are you farther along now?
9:20 am
UnikeTheHunter

Only three.
9:20 am
BeppyCute

GO
9:20 am
drwho

You've got the 1 and 7 in the center stack?
9:20 am
OrangeSlice

Done. Standard crosshatching and intersections solved it after the slow beginning.
9:21 am
UnikeTheHunter

Of course, DrWho.
9:22 am
drwho

And you should have a 3.
9:23 am
UnikeTheHunter

Yes. That's it, a 1, 7, and 3. And those don't seem to help me go further.
9:23 am
OrangeSlice

There's also a 6 you can find.
9:23 am
OrangeSlice

And that's what kicked it off for me.
9:24 am
drwho

Cross-hatch the rows.
9:25 am
UnikeTheHunter

Okay, got the 6, but by a virtual crosshatch. The computer I guess didn't do it that way.
9:25 am
drwho

I found the 6 OrangeSlice is talking about by virtual cross-hatching but it can also be found by cross-hatching the row.
9:26 am
UnikeTheHunter

Oh, that's right.
9:26 am
UnikeTheHunter

Thanks for your help. I need to got get my daughter ready for school now. Bye.
9:27 am

Bye, and good luck with the puzzle.
