I enjoyed that one - took a leap of faith on my part that my logic was correct (felt correct, but couldn't prove it was correct). Once past that point it fell pretty easy. Still can't do Hards without greens though.

Andy
I went green and am not making headway. Weird.

Andy
I always find it interesting how some people find certain puzzles dead easy and others find them very hard.
6:57 am
Andy
Well, I find it a lot more interesting when I'm the one who thinks a puzzle is dead easy. Right now, I'm frustrated.

Note to self: The little "Bookmarks" icon in Safari's link bar does not just load a window to manage bookmarks. It actually moves away from the page you are on. In short, save a checkpoint before using it. Will restart later when I am not banging my head on the wall.

i've had it before where i've been ALMOST done with a hard or an expert, and that's when the kitties decide to walk across your lap, stepping on the laptop and hitting the button that does the refresh
7:05 am
katmama
love the cats to death, but oh man does that tick me off!
7:07 am
katmama
well...this is definitely not the easy i was hoping for today...i'll have to come back to this one later. hope your retry goes more smoothly for you, andy!

Finally done. Very tricky today. Found a hidden triple and then a hidden pair and that broke it open. Used greens and stuff.
2:42 pm
RodeoRogue
going at it again.
2:52 pm
RodeoRogue
done, with greens and a guess
3:22 pm

Difficulty score 42. That was horrible. Theoretically, you only need some hidden and naked pairs. I didn't see any that I could use! Solved it with the Swiss Army Knife of Sudoku, Alternating Inference Chains.

6:32 pm

done with auto g+r. either saw a pair or made a lucky guess. going back to puzzle this out for a while.
6:58 pm
brittlefish.com
hmm... was a lucky guess, i guess. scanraid shows a (rather obvious) triple that i didn't see on my own. drat.
