done

no greens

well, I have a little over an hour left in my 30s. At 7:35AM Eastern, I fully expect my body to completely fall apart.

go

and a happy birthday to Andy!

and done...no greens

Funny... I don't feel any older. I don't look any older. I don't have any new wisdom I didn't have earlier. Maybe I'll do tomorrow's puzzle faster. Yeah, that's it. :)

lol, andy :)

much easier than yesterday

Can somebody tell me whether the xy chain after 14 in Thursday's "expert" was a long one? I'm still determined to do it without a guess.

i'm sure you can do it without a guess

you... think. and then you... wink. you do a double blink, then close your eyes and... jump!

Cute. But it sounds like a guess.

you're supposed to say:

hursh! what utter nonsense! why do you always complicate things that are really quite simple?

Well, it sounded simple enough. And it even rhymed, mostly.

it's... um... it's paraphrasing a bit of mary poppins.

I guess I don't know my Mary Poppins well enough.

well, it's one of my favorite movies, i have it mostly memorized. but then, i'm a freak.

Incidentally, I'm probably one of the few humans who cried during Mary Poppins. I was 14 when it came out. And at one point the magic was so wonderful I cried.

aw, that's great

go

if you don't want a guess, then i suppose you don't want a SDCHC

and good morning

good morning everyone... start

'mornin fish.

it's been so long since i've gotten to concoct one... sigh.

hello brittle and smooth

howdy hurshy

hiya hursh! long time no see

Hursh, what's a SDCHC? (waiting for the punch line...j)

that's what my dad said about crossing the sahara

Super Duper Coded Hurshy Clue

Okay, how about a SDCHC on Thursday's "expert."

you have to pick a square that you want to know the number for, and then i will concoct it.

That still sounds like cheating.

Happy Saint Swithin's day to all

...and anyway, I'm working on today's now. Stuck at 15.

yes, well, i said i supposed you didn't want one

i'm at 14, inke, and it just slowed way down for me too

it is just a way of giving people a number without ruining it for everyone else. but it doesn't do any good if your goal is to really solve it yourself.

16 now.

19

heh 15 for me ;)

Nice, fish.

thx, does slow down a bit tho

ooh! I just opened something up... gettinga litle faster now

Going again. I missed something easy.

done./ no greens

done. no green.

Great, fish. I think some brains were made especially for Sudoku. Not mine.

damn, fish! we were neck and neck there. lol

you had me by a minute

well, see you al for tomorrow's puzzle. I've got to run

see ya

easy indeed

Done, no greens. Several easy ones missed.

hello everybody

have a nice day

angie, it's not st. swithin's day. It's my birthday. That's far more important :)

Forty. Forty. Forty. 40. Four T. It sounds all kinds of wrong. I will deny it happened. I am still 22. 22 was a good year.

Very easy no-greener :-)

Happy birthday Andy. Go
