6:24 am
eyeman

indeed

6:41 am
Inge

Bravo
6:42 am

Okay, I'm back after taking a break for breakfast. Still stuck, going green...
7:30 am
spreadeagle

Greens only gave me one cell. Now what?
7:53 am
spreadeagle

Started over, thinking I must have made a mistake. Used greens from the beginning. Stuck in the same spot. :(
7:55 am
spreadeagle

DrWho, have you rated this one yet?
7:57 am
Judy

I can't believe that this is a medium!
7:58 am
spreadeagle

I'm with you, Judy. I've resorted to looking for some type of X or Y wing.
8:04 am
Judy

Thought selective greens might do it....way too optimistic. Going totally green now.
8:05 am
spreadeagle

I think I found an x-wing, I'll let you know....
8:09 am
Judy

Just made either a flat out guess or some blind intuition and the wall came tumbling down. Have a good day!!!
8:12 am
spreadeagle

That was it! A simple x-wing solved it :) Unusual to need that for a medium.
8:47 am
drwho

Difficulty score 30. It really is a medium, but I found it quite hard too. I think there were several points where the only way to make progress was to find the missing digit which I find quite hard.

And away we go...

hello

I managed to solve it without green by finding a couple of pairs, but I have no idea how the computer solved it with nothing more difficult than virtual cross-hatching.
9:37 am
yul

finished with lots of pairs, unique rectangle & no green
9:50 am

Well, I'm now ranked on the top row of the Regulars. I may endeavor to stay there a while, for I often miss days. And I like being at the top of SOMETHING.

11:10 am
UnikeTheHunter

A unique rectangle.
11:27 am
UnikeTheHunter

Done, no greens.

done.. had to go green.. that wasn't a medium IMO, it had both a unique rectangle and x-wing...

done, as its been said before, mediums are often more difficult than the hard
