Difficulty score 39. My new technique for finding doubles, triples and so on, didn't help this time, so I had to use green.
11:39 am
drwho

My new technique might have helped if I had a little more practice with it.

Perry, thanks for trying to help. First is said invalid puzzle, then it said page cannot be found. NP I wasnt going to tackle it today anyway
4:01 pm
Marc

Does anyone know how to choose the numbers that are red versus the ones that are green?
4:02 pm
Perry

Hold the ALT key instead of the shift key
4:10 pm
Marc

I meant to how to choose the correct number in the box. What does holding the ALT key do
5:28 pm
dalebo

My puzzles are coming up letters A_I instead of numbers 1-9. Is that they way you see it, or have I done something wrong?
5:29 pm
Marc

Something is wrong but I don't know what
5:29 pm
yul

wow. I newer had letters instead of numbers
5:39 pm
Perry

click 'my account' on the upper right part of the page, then select the option for numbers instead of letters (there are 3 options - numbers, letters, pictures)
5:45 pm
Marc

Perry again I have red and green numbers when put in the java script but it seems the red numbers don't mean anything
5:46 pm
Perry

Green numbers are what the square can be, red numbers are what it cannot be.
5:47 pm
Marc

That cannot be true because in one quadrant I have 3 9's in a vertical column
5:48 pm
Marc

All the 9's are green I should've mentioned
5:49 pm
Marc

In another quadrant I have two open squares and both squares show a 1 and 3 both in red
5:52 pm
Perry

Greens and reds are notations to help you solve it - they are not the numbers you selected for the box. You can have many boxes in a line with the same notation as that just indicates a possibility. If you have 3 in a row with green 9's that just means that those boxes have the possibility to be a 9. They won't all be, but you have not eliminated the possibilities yet to figure out which is the right one.
