I need to know how to use the green script to get all the little green numbers to fill in. I think I'm doing something wrong. Anyone know exactly what to do?
12:48 am
tchansen

use the shift key when you press on the number.
12:49 am
momofadam

I mean the autofill script
12:50 am
moedog

paste the following into the url field of your browser:
12:50 am
moedog

javascript:for (i=1; i<=9; i++) {for (j=1; j<=9; j++) {if (grid[i][j].value == '') {ClearTinySquares(i,j);}}}for (i=1; i<=9; i++) {for (j=1; j<=9; j++) {if (grid[i][j].value != '') {var tmp_value = grid[i][j].value;for (k=1; k<=9; k++) {for (l=1; l<=9; l++) {if (grid[k][l].value == '') {if ((Math.ceil(i/3) == Math.ceil(k/3) && Math.ceil(j/3) == Math.ceil(l/3)) || i == k || j == l) {grid[k][l]['mini'][tmp_value] = -1;}}}}}}}for (i=1; i<=9; i++) { for (j=1; j<=9; j++) { if (grid[i][j].value == '') { for (k=1; k<=9; k++) { if (grid[i][j]['mini'][k] != -1) grid[i][j]['mini'][k] = 1; }}}}for (i=1; i<=9; i++) {for (j=1; j<=9; j++) {if (grid[i][j].value == '') {for (k=1; k<=9; k++) {if (grid[i][j]['mini'][k] != 1) grid[i][j]['mini'][k] = 0;}}}}PopulatePuzzle(grid);void(0);

I don't know of an auto fill script. You have to manually do it.
12:51 am
tchansen

Well, apparently I'm wrong.
12:51 am
augurus

Aren't we a bit scatterbrained today?
12:52 am
momofadam

Yeah, I have the script but I can't get it to work.
12:52 am
moedog

what exactly are you doing?
12:53 am
tchansen

You can also highlight the text that moedog posted and drag it to the firefox tool bar and then it creates a link you can press whenever you want.
12:53 am
tchansen

Cool script, whomever created it.
12:54 am
momofadam

I don't use firefox. Maybe that's my problem.
12:55 am
moedog

should work in ie, too, unless your security settings are b0rked
12:55 am
augurus

Firefox is wonderful. /testimony
12:55 am
Grendel

nice script :)
12:55 am
tchansen

Yes. IE will get you in trouble, one way or another.
1:16 am
tchansen

Tada!

9:19 am
yul

9:20 am
btwrt

it's from invader zim - his robot, gir, is wearing a dog suit and riding on a large pink (inflatable?) pig
9:20 am
btwrt

it's a very funny show ;)
9:22 am
yul

i thought that a piggy is involved somehow :)
9:23 am
yul

can you see this show on tv in US?
9:24 am
btwrt

it's not on anymore - it used to be on one of the cartoon channels but too many parents complained that it was violent, lol. my sister has it on dvd.
9:25 am
yul

9:26 am

10:12 am
btwrt

10:17 am
btwrt

Linda

10:58 am
Limer

Howdy, Ya' all
11:03 am
Linda

done! had to make one guess along the way but not too bad
11:04 am
Limer

Sometimes I question the difficulty of these puzzles.
11:16 am
yul

if you trying to do it without marking, it makes more sense
11:22 am
yul

finished without marking. good bye btwrt and all

Howdy Ya' all
7:48 pm
elara6

HIya, Limer :)
7:48 pm
Limer

How's things in Ann Arbor?
7:49 pm
Limer

elara6, did you solve today's puzzle yet?
7:50 pm
elara6

Yep, and somehow managed it without marking (though I'm still convinced it was blind luck ;) )
7:50 pm
elara6

I'm now working on the Medium from yesterday (darn those 2's and 5's)
7:50 pm
Limer

I think you are smarter than me.
7:51 pm
elara6

I seriously doubt that ;) (and Ann Arbor's good, but very very rainy :) )
7:51 pm
Limer

I feel your pain. I think they are changing the name of my town from Fletcher to Swampy.
7:52 pm
elara6

*grin*
7:52 pm
Limer

that's "chagrin"
7:54 pm
elara6

So Limer, you've been playing this much longer. What's worse: Guessing or marking?
7:55 pm
Limer

guessing. I cannot guess worth a hoot.
7:56 pm
elara6

so for the purist, it's better to mark than guess? :)
7:57 pm
Limer

Well, I would think that the object would be to solve the thing anyway possible. It is definitely more of a challange to solve without marking.
7:57 pm
elara6

Yeah, no kidding :)
8:29 pm
jennsudoku

is it just me - or are all of the puzzles lately a lot harder than normal?
