I don't know. I applied psuedo-guessing techniques. I know I'm in deep when I'm applying pseudo-guessing techniques.

CD in question was Sara Melson "Dirty Mind" which I highly recommend. You can check it out at Amie Street at http://amiestreet.com/artist/30329 (no, not affiliated, just really love the CD and love promoting DRM free music!)

Thank goodness this is out of the way!! Too much guessing even with greens; guess I don't really know how to eliminate very well with greens.

Alessandi

Hi all, seems this is hard, I suspect I may struggle as I've been out today playing pool and drinking guinness, it may not be a good idea even to tackle it, haven't said that my last drink was a few hours ago and I only had 3 and a couple of bailies still lets go...
4:26 pm
sprite

4:32 pm
sprite

I was here from day one... but then life happened and I started lagging behind. Am slowly catching up.
4:32 pm
Alessandi

I've no doubt you will if you want to.
4:33 pm
sprite

yeah, I think I will, in time. No hurry though!
4:33 pm
Alessandi

4:34 pm
sprite

4:35 pm
Alessandi

I thought so, especially with some of these puzzles, so far I've got 10 numbers in and not entirely sure of them. :)
4:36 pm
sprite

Good luck, Alessandi! And have fun :)

Well done sprite, good on you, take it easy. Nice talking to you.
