making wrong guesses this morning

this one is rather hard for a medium
6:34 am
spreadeagle
This one started fast, but has now bogged down...
6:40 am
eyeman
i think i got it.
6:42 am
eyeman
Yes, got it! This should be a hard, not medium!
6:42 am
eyeman
Thanks, Inge
6:42 am
spreadeagle
Way to go, eyeman...
6:43 am

Luck had a part to play in it.

7:16 am
smooth_pappa

7:20 am
spreadeagle
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...

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

Tough one

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.
11:28 am
UnikeTheHunter
That was an hour and four minutes I could have used better.

I hate this kind of medium.
12:21 pm

12:42 pm

done.. had to go green.. that wasn't a medium IMO, it had both a unique rectangle and x-wing...
10:18 pm

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