smooth_pappa

7:45 am

Difficulty score 22. Naked and hidden pair analysis needed.
8:34 am
PuttPutt
Done but had to use greenies
9:10 am
UnikeTheHunter
Go.
9:23 am
OrangeSlice
First time I've used an xy-chain without greens. Granted, it was totally unnecessary and didn't make any difference whatsoever.
9:24 am
UnikeTheHunter
You improve little by little.
9:24 am
spellacked
extremely easy with greenies -- nothing sneaky here
9:26 am
OrangeSlice
Indeed; storing pairs and conjugates in your head leads to some interesting things.
9:26 am
PuttPutt
Hi folks, is there a way of getting the greens entered without having to do them one at a time , please ?
9:26 am
PuttPutt
I find its very time consuming
9:27 am
OrangeSlice
Copy the javascript from UnikeTheHunter's profile into your address bar and hit enter.
9:27 am
UnikeTheHunter
I'll give you my autogreens. Plug it into the URL getting field of Firefox and click the green triangle.

javascript:for (i=1; i<=9; i++) {for (j=1; j<=9; j++) {if (grid[i][j].value == '') {ClearTinySquares(i,j);}}}for (i=1; i<=9; i++) {for (j=1; j<=9; j++) {if (grid[i][j].value != '') {var tmp_value = grid[i][j].value;for (k=1; k<=9; k++) {for (l=1; l<=9; l++) {if (grid[k][l].value == '') {if ((Math.ceil(i/3) == Math.ceil(k/3) && Math.ceil(j/3) == Math.ceil(l/3)) || i == k || j == l) {grid[k][l]['mini'][tmp_value] = -1;}}}}}}}for (i=1; i<=9; i++) { for (j=1; j<=9; j++) { if (grid[i][j].value == '') { for (k=1; k<=9; k++) { if (grid[i][j]['mini'][k] != -1) grid[i][j]['mini'][k] = 1; }}}}for (i=1; i<=9; i++) {for (j=1; j<=9; j++) {if (grid[i][j].value == '') {for (k=1; k<=9; k++) {if (grid[i][j]['mini'][k] != 1) grid[i][j]['mini'][k] = 0;}}}}PopulatePuzzle(grid);void(0);

It works with Firefox, not with Internet Explorer.
9:30 am
PuttPutt
ok thanks will try it,
9:30 am
OrangeSlice
There's a workaround for IE, but I don't have the code on hand.
9:38 am
PuttPutt
I must be real dumm I'm not getting it
9:39 am
PuttPutt
Yeah I have, wow thanks a bunch
9:39 am
OrangeSlice
You can save it as a bookmark and just click on it to run the greens script as well.
9:40 am
PuttPutt
wonderful thanks, so much
9:40 am
UnikeTheHunter
Clever.
9:50 am
UnikeTheHunter
Does anybody have an autogreens that doesn't put back in greens that you've already eliminated by hand?
9:55 am
OrangeSlice
Seems possible to do, but I don't know of one.
10:12 am
UnikeTheHunter
27 and stuck. I exploited one pair, no greens.
10:14 am
spreadeagle
Cool! No greens! Finding a "4" was the key for me.
10:14 am
UnikeTheHunter
Got all my4's. But it didn't open up.
10:16 am
spreadeagle
I don't know what to tell you. With 27 filled, it should just be a matter of crosshatching from there.
10:17 am
UnikeTheHunter
Maybe I'm missing an easy crosshatch.
10:18 am
UnikeTheHunter
Oh, yea. Found an easy block crosshatch.
10:23 am
UnikeTheHunter
Done, no greens. Only one pair exploited. First no green "hard" for me. Feeling great!
10:31 am
spreadeagle
WTG Unike!

Done! I used greenies but not everywhere, more to organize my thoughts than anything else. Pretty easy though for a hard.

8:04 pm
Andy
I just had ice cream. And now I have a sudoku puzzle to do...
8:05 pm
Andy

8:19 pm

Not too bad. Used greens because my brain hurts.
