Good time for a Hard.

UnikeTheHunter

But in 12 minutes?
12:57 am
UnikeTheHunter

Oh. With greens. That sort of explains it. But still good time.
12:58 am
bruzie

it seemed straight forward - didn't use any difficult techniques
12:59 am
drwho

There is at least 1 hidden pair.
1:00 am
UnikeTheHunter

Difficulty score 31. No green.
1:14 am
SamanthaJoy

drwho, where do you come up with these "difficulty scores"?
1:14 am
UnikeTheHunter

Pretty good. I'm still 18, stuck. See one hidden pair. Don't see where another could be hiding.
1:14 am
SamanthaJoy

Oh, and congratulations.
1:15 am
drwho

I looked at the place the 2nd pair was hiding and thought it looked suspicious, but didn't see it the first time!
1:16 am
drwho

In fact I must have missed it several times!
1:16 am
UnikeTheHunter

Like me.
1:17 am
drwho

It shouldn't have been that hard to find either.
1:17 am
drwho

SJ, see my profile. There is a link to an explanation.
1:18 am
SamanthaJoy

I'll do that; thank you.
1:20 am
UnikeTheHunter

Rats. Going green.
1:33 am
UnikeTheHunter

DPOG. Done, plenty of greens. I saw a hidden pair, but I failed to exploit it. So I needed greens.
1:38 am
drwho

Further analysis shows that what I thought was my first hidden pair could have been found by cross-hatching.
1:38 am
drwho

Good night all.
