starting

got only 5 numbers and stuck

i got six and i'm stuck

suddenly almost solved... left top box is where to start...

did u use the subs? or just by memory? i'm completely stuck argh, too tired to think

used subs... but only top left is where you would need green

done...

done

dang congrats

done

hi, everyone!

whew!

done

hello

morning. tough one getting started without guessing

finally, got the first number w/o a guess.

Starting a Sudoku by guessing isn't the best way to go. =)

very true, vega

nah there are a couple of numbers that are pretty straightforward to find

its after that we have a problem hahahahaha

About 1/2 filled (counting the fixed ones), and so far so good!

i started in the bottom right square

hi all

Hello

howdy peter

Ahh, it's now falling...

Fallen! Hooray. *skips off*

not too bad at all. Hve a good day all

Good afternoon all

Easy.

hi sprite!

am i still me?

hi hurshy...

I think you are still you...

hey auntie :)

yes i know i just meant... sometimes it logs me out but still says i'm logged in and then my chat shows up as from System

...unless you're not!! : )

i have to make sure i'm me before i start the grid or it won't count!

ah, now I understand!!

well...gotta do some 'real' work now...catch you later!!

ok bubye :)

has anyone else had a hard time with this one? i think i'm just dumb today

it is possible that i may be violating Hurshy's #1 Rule of Sudoku

my head is not entirely clear...

I just started, but the mediums always give me a harder time than any others.

it's a little hard to get going, but I've only just started.

me too it seems.. only gotten 5 numbers and stuck

i got 6

oh i lied, 6 too

i've got 2 so far

three =)

7!

3!

argh hurshy! Mind if i ask what 9x9 u found it in?

uh oh maybe not 7

lol

hang on it might be wrong

sorry... i was stuck on 6 last night and went to bed... trying to mark all subs now

i didn't use my normal system today

yeah i never mark anymore but i am today, haven't got the time or the head for faffing about

yeah i usually try not to until i get completely stuck

i don't have to mark at all except on experts... if i've had enough sleep

i've definitely become too reliant on the marking. last time I tried one I paper, I had a hard time!

i've never done any on paper ... but i'm pretty good without marking ... just when i finally get ready to throw the comp out the window lol

ok NOW i found my 7th and 8th numbers

my one before WAS right

but i wasn't sure yet

7!

I started out doing them on paper

congrats hurshy :) and parsec :)

now i'm rolling

now I only do here

oh dang it what happened?

oh i found a 7th one finally, i kept overlooking it

see, this is why i have the rule!

4!

what is the #1 rule again?

whats ur rule?

SUDOKU MUST ONLY BE DONE ON A CLEAR HEAD

:) thats a good rule

oh, yes. that's why I rarely try at 1 am!

well, maybe I should change that to that's why I rarely succeed at 1 am

lol =)

haha me too

5!

if people insist on violating my rule, i cannot answer for the consequences

it's hard to keep a clear head when I keep chatting with you all!

lol...i have a bump on the head, that's my new excuse.

ouch, what happened?

i bumped my head.

oh, I see

i forget what i bumped it on...

alright, I gotta go. good luck, all!

i was cleaning yesterday... and i turned without looking...was it the counter? hmmm...

toodles and thanks :)

bye hokie

I cut my foot somehow recently. It's amazing what the brain decides isn't worth remembering.

i'm up to 12, how ya doing ?

13. lucky number =)

well i think i agree with my brain

I don't know...I like to remember things that hurt me so I can avoid them next time.

17

lol i agree with parsec

in this case... i already knew whacking my head on a counter (or whatever it was) would hurt, i just can't help being a klutz

ah. well that's a little different. =)

not much, but a little.

ahh, it finally broke. Have a good one guys!

done... gotta go, good luck everyone :)

ps. if any of you plan to see x-men 3, i suggest that you sit through the interminable credits, appreciate the sheer # of stunt, craft, and special effects folks involved & see the real end of the movie when the credits are finished!

it's films like this that make me glad i'm a credit-watcher :)

everyone else in the show missed the end, i felt sorry for them :(

hey i just saw x-men 3 tonight and saw the end - totally awesome ;)

i missed the real ending...

you'll have to go again ;)

hey helen - you're everywhere aren't you?

i have been to ms online games and now ironsudoku. why is chat more important than games? is this a way to play games without playing games, or is this a way to chat without chatting?

i just want to play games. hellenkeller: are you really blind?
