Nuts. Why does he give us an "expert" after a long day doing taxes?
12:15 am
drwho

Looks like a very easy one, as experts go.
12:15 am
eyeman

ok, I'll say "go".
12:30 am
eyeman

OK, I'll say "Done." No way is this an Expert, but I'll steal the 5 points.
12:31 am
eyeman

You're absolutely right, drwho.
12:32 am
drwho

I'm trying to get it without green.
12:32 am
eyeman

you'll do it. Keep searching.
12:33 am
salmocreston1

DONE
12:33 am
drwho

While listening to soothing music from the IRS help line.
12:33 am
Ed-was_here

Done with greens
12:33 am
eyeman

Just think, only 60 more days till the 2nd quarter estimates are due.
12:34 am
drwho

Well I don't have to pay that as I paid nothing this year.
12:35 am
WHB

Done. Had to gues twicee.
12:35 am
eyeman

yes, good to have an offshore bank account... :) (just teasing)
12:36 am
UnikeTheHunter

Looks like I might have to guess. I'll try to find the most productive guess, so I will only need one.
12:36 am
eyeman

Just put the 8 in the right square, and you've nailed it.
12:37 am
drwho

Don't I wish. Actually the recession has made my taxable income very small.
12:38 am
drwho

Or a 1, or a 5, or a 6.
12:38 am
eyeman

And taxes will go only the way of the postage stamp rate increase.
12:39 am
eyeman

good night, all.
12:39 am
drwho

I hope not, or we are in for a repeat of the Great Depression.
12:40 am
eyeman

Time will tell! have a good one.
12:41 am
drwho

Thanks. Good night.
12:50 am
UnikeTheHunter

Did it, no green, no guess. Just futzing around.
12:52 am
UnikeTheHunter

I think it could have been classed an "easy." Or a "medium." Just one double virtual, but that was easy to see.
1:06 am
drwho

Difficulty score 33. No green, no guesses.
1:07 am
drwho

Definitely an expert. Required one expert technique at the end.
1:09 am
drwho

It turned out to be the 2s that were the key for me, not the 8s.
1:11 am
drwho

And I should give proper credit to the IRS help line and their repeated renditions of Tchiakovski's Walt of the Flowers and Mozart's Eine Kline Nact Musik.
1:12 am
drwho

Make that Waltz of the Flowers. I don't know any Walt of the Flowers. Sounds like an interesting guy though.
1:13 am
drwho

And Tchaikovski would have thought so too, considering his preferences.
2:36 am
Anne

Expert ? That wasn't even a medium
5:35 am
kixx

go
5:36 am

Morning. Go.

Very sad for an expert. It was easier than yesterdays easy. Done. No greens.
6:20 am
Andy

go
6:24 am
angieplumptit

a mere bagatelle
6:33 am
Andy

Done. No greens.
6:33 am
Andy

Did use one (correct) guess.
9:33 am
drwho

Kixx gets 6 points for proper spelling of the German. But Eine Kline Nact Musik is closer than I'm Inclined to Knock Music :)

11:21 am

done, with greens. But I read up on unique rectangle and was able to solve it. I learned something new today!
11:59 am
hurshy

kept waiting for other shoe to drop, but there wasn't one. super easy, no greens. perhaps it helps that unique rectangles have always been my favorite thing and i'm always using them, even in puzzles where you might not really need them.
2:21 pm
ypsigirl

done
2:34 pm
Inge

whoopee! done, even though I do not understand that "Unique rectangle" explanation.
2:52 pm
Dave

Wow, no green, no guesses. I'd classify this one as Easy, or Medium at best... Not difficult at all.
