If my scores mean anything, that was the hardest of the Hard.

Bri413

8:34 am
UnikeTheHunter

UnikeTheHunter
Only 4. Going green.

8:56 am
Phil
stuck after 8 any ideas?
8:58 am
UnikeTheHunter
I got 10 with no ideas.
8:59 am
UnikeTheHunter
Oh, great! I see a hidden pair.
9:01 am
UnikeTheHunter
...which didn't help much.
9:09 am
UnikeTheHunter
Oh, MAN?!?
9:09 am
OrangeSlice
Easy, there.
9:13 am
lawfully
Can't say it's easy, but it's doable
9:20 am
UnikeTheHunter
It's an odd feeling, knowing there are other people staring at the same numbers as me, ready to throw something.
9:25 am
OrangeSlice
hmm, will have to finish this one later.
9:25 am
OrangeSlice
Good luck.
9:26 am
UnikeTheHunter
Bye.
9:40 am
UnikeTheHunter
Found a triplet. Not much use, however.
9:41 am
UnikeTheHunter
No, it was a quadruplet.
9:42 am
UnikeTheHunter
Oh, it WAS useful.
9:42 am
UnikeTheHunter
Very useful!
9:50 am
spazzy
i see that quadruplet, but so far it's only given me 2 numbers
9:50 am
spazzy
never mind
9:51 am
UnikeTheHunter
Stuck again.
9:51 am
spazzy
now i have 3 numbers
9:51 am
UnikeTheHunter
I think I got 3 or 4.
9:59 am
spazzy
ah! there we go....look in the more left columns
10:00 am
spazzy
adios, all. good luck.
10:03 am
UnikeTheHunter
Okay. I think I'm going to town now!
10:04 am
UnikeTheHunter
Maybe not. I put in a few and then clicked my autogreens. It put back in a lot of things I had eliminated. Now it looks worse!
10:11 am
UnikeTheHunter
Got it. Feeling quite good.
10:55 am
smdnjv
How do you click auto greens??
11:31 am
Krys10
smdnjv - click on my profile and there is javascript and instructions about how to do autofill for greens
11:31 am
bunnyvicious
done
1:27 pm
spellacked
aargh - stuck after 10 numbers, used greens, lots of pairs left but not enough for this to break. Anybody got a hint on where I might be missing a hidden pair?
1:43 pm
spellacked
finally got it, there were several more hidden pairs
1:49 pm
janiceb75
those hidden pairs were the pits! I did find them though and I'm done with that one!!! :o)
2:25 pm
smdnjv
Thanks Krys10....!!
2:28 pm
denglis1
smdnjv I tried Krys10's javascript and it didn't work. What did you do to get it to work?
2:42 pm
selenav
done, that was kinda hurt my head just thinking about it again
3:10 pm
Zugzug7
go. I hope this one is easier than yesterdays.
3:47 pm
Zugzug7
done. another doozie.
5:31 pm

if you are using ie6, the javascript is too long. try the following: javascript: var script=document.createElement('script');scr
ipt.src='http://www.brittlefish.com/code/isi
e.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head'
)[0].appendChild(script); gautofill(); void(0);
5:33 pm
helenkeller
tx- but i just use wetware
5:50 pm
andy99
for those people that use that script to auto-fill, do you use it several times over?
5:52 pm
h
yup - as itens fill in it is easy to hit go-again to autoupdate the items. unless of course ive spent a lot of time culling-down an unwieldy autofill.
5:52 pm
andy99
I just tried it, and it doesn't auto-adjust for your later entries, of course, so it seems to me to add clutter
5:53 pm
h
just resubmit it and it will then auto-adjust...
5:54 pm
andy99
ok, but I reckon that will take up a lot of the time it "saves"
6:00 pm
moe
just copy the script to your computers clipboard, paste it into the browser address bar, fill in for a while, when you are ready to run the script again, simply press ctrl-r on a pc or cmd-r on a mac
6:01 pm
brianarn
You could also just paste the javascript into a bookmark and put that on your toolbar, really.
6:05 pm
brianarn
The problem with an autogreener is that it's going to be aggressive with your greens, so it'll put out too many usually. it saves speed in some ways, but, on the whole, you still wind up doing a good bit of work. That being said, I've played with 'em and they can be handy at times. :)
6:06 pm
andy99
I've cleared it again
6:10 pm
helenkeller
rats!
6:11 pm
andy99
how many rats?
6:11 pm
helenkeller
all of them!
6:11 pm
andy99

So easy a caveman could do it?
6:39 pm

6:40 pm
jawilke

I must admit, I don't know how to handle this grid. I usually just do the easy ones. This is way beyond my capabilities.
