found that easier than some of the "easies"

Done

well, no problem once I marked it, so I wouldn't say it was easy, but no guessing required. it is 1:45 am here though - I should be in the bed.

very easy - no guesses needed

a hard one indeed, but not impossible

agreed. I went green and it all fell together.

Difficulty score 26. Look for hidden and naked pairs.

11 filled, slowing down.

Good puzzle. Needed greens. Too much info to keep straight in my head.

grrrreens

what is greens?

little marker numbers you use to keep track of possibilities

Hold down the shift key when you click on a number.

oooh, thanks

reds are used either to indicate either an impossibility or where a number can be in a 3x3 box only twice

alt-click for reds

cool

done.

of course, today's puzzle is so easy with greens as to be embarrassing. a hard puzzle rendered completely helpless. i feel like i just ran over some baby ducks.

Awww...

i know!

Perhaps you'd like to join me in poisoning the pigeons in the park.

:) i didn't say i enjoyed running over the little ducks. i feel... a little ashamed. poor duckies. i kept wanting them to cling to life. "come on little duckies, i didn't mean to smash you." seriously though, a little green and it's like this big macho "Hard" puzzle died of fright.

Spring is here, a-suh-puh-ring is here.
Life is skittles and life is beer.
I think the loveliest time of the year is the spring.
I do, don't you? Course you do.
But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me,
And makes ev'ry Sunday a treat for me.

All the world seems in tune
On a spring afternoon,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.
Ev'ry Sunday you'll see
My sweetheart and me,
As we poison the pigeons in the park.

When they see us coming, the birdies all try an' hide,
But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide.
The sun's shining bright,
Ev'rything seems all right,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

We've gained notoriety,
And caused much anxiety
In the Audubon Society
With our games.
They call it impiety,
And lack of propriety,
And quite a variety
Of unpleasant names.
But it's not against any religion
To want to dispose of a pigeon.

So if Sunday you're free,
Why don't you come with me,
And we'll poison the pigeons in the park.
And maybe we'll do
In a squirrel or two,
While we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

We'll murder them all amid laughter and merriment.
Except for the few we take home to experiment.
My pulse will be quickenin'
With each drop of strych'nine
We feed to a pigeon.
(It just takes a smidgin!)
To poison a pigeon in the park.

Great Tom Leherer song.

yes, tom's a riot.

Guessed right the first time. Now I'll have a short look at today's.
