good morning... it doesn't look hard... on first scan, I have found out all 4s and 5s

no, it moves quite quickly... for awhile

morning, id have to agree, somewhat stuck right now, maybe it just needs a min

only for a while?

yeah, now I'm stuck

done

the easiest "hard" ever

wow, congrats

mandi, i think we just got shown up

congrats law

thanks...

hardly neede superscripts

i never use those

figures...

on something above hard... I use them... but not for today

I use 'em, but today, when I started to use them is when I got stuck

they aren't helping

okay, got it

rag, are you finished?

just now

idk, just took me a bit to get past that rut

maybe different method... I guess

how are you mandi + law?

g'night

i'm ok, except I need some sleep

haha, i hear ya, gnight law

g'night see you tomorrow, I hope

I've got a cold, which I think is messing with my head

how are you, raggedy?

you like wings? those will always clear it up if tylenol doesnt do the trick

im good, just dreading class in the morn

unfortunately, I can't take anything until my doctor okays it, cause I'm expecting

sorry about class

I remember those days

i believe congratulations are in order, and its all good, 4 more years!(sadly im going to be in college for 5)

I was in for 5 as well, and now I am slowly working on my masters, but I decided to take the summer off, and go to Europe

thank you

which is why I am now sitting here, making up all the fun sudokus I missed while traveling

Masters in? welcome

education

cool, did you go to a college that I would know?

no, I went to a small private university in So. Cal. called Concordia University. I 'm getting my masters there as well

ya, ur right, never heard. but thats great, idk if ill be able to deal w/ that extra 2 years of classes and more than doubling my debt getting out of college to make it through grad school

It's not really the money, it's the fact that when you're teaching, you work during your masters, and once you start working, it's really hard to go back to school

its that the way grad school typically works? my impression of grad school at my school wasnt like that, but i have only done 1 year so i may be mistaken

it depends on the program you are in; I think most programs you just go to class for 2 years

gotcha

well i will leave you to catch up on sudoku's, once again congrats, i am off to bed(its almost 2 AM in my timezone)

thanks again, and good night

that was super easy for a hard... they practically filled in half to begin with

yep.. done less than a min.

Hey, did Doc change the rankings again? I was gone for a week and completed all of the puzzles yesterday, but it still shows me behind.. Any ideas?

he updates it everyday

becuase i move up everyday lol

No, I mean did he change how it was calculated?

nope

easy1
medium 2
hard 3
xpert 5

Going away for holidays costs you points. Especially when I am staying home.

OK, you missed the point, nevermind.

well then explain the point to me please

I'd say give it a day, and then if there is still a problem tomorrow, contact him

I have completed all of the puzzles, but my ranking does not reflect that.

Thanks mandi

I've been down before, and it usually adjusts on its own

Never have any problem with the rankings.

I was gone for a week, sprite, and had to catch up yesterday.

baby screaming - later

Then I think Mandi's advice is very good.

baby screaming - later

hi all

Exactly. Easy as pie. Enjoy ;)

another easy "Hard" this week, eh?

Good morning all!

Hi!

crap. I actually made it over half way without greens. Now I need them. Oh well, I am getting better.

hey everyone out there in Sudoku land!

hey limer :D hows things today?

i'm surprised that today's is a hard - was not very hard for me at all. and my brain has been mush lately

Really busy here at work. Finally get a lunch break

Heya Limer :)

Howdy do bangping

hi Limer, hi everyone : )

heya :)

Babbler, how are things across the pond?

sweltering!! another hot day, but humidity is v. high

how about where you are?

cloudy here ... tut, tut, it looks like rain ...

since btwrt asked, yes i am here.

just got off the phone with a client in CA.

It's over 110 out there for the 5th straight day

oh man. i wouldn't leave my house.

Hey caffeinatedelf, haven't typed to you in a while

oh dear! that's not good. humid too? Our high is 88F today. Feels oppressive cos of the humidity. : /

eek. that's horrid!

no kidding.

is that a 'normal' temp for Ohio?

He said the elderly are really bad off due to the power outages

I'm new at this. How do you get the different colors I've been reading about? The only colors I've seen are yellow and pink.

Babbler, those temps are out in California. Ohio is around the 90's

stephanie - it's explained in Help, but basically, press Cntrl + your number to get greens, and Alt + number to get reds.

oh California. Yeah, I know it gets hot there. : ) But it's a big state, so not all of it, right?

(shift-number for greens) :)

oh is it shift + number? lol! I don't even think about it anymore, lol! :D

*makes mental note not to try to help when brain is melting*

I know this cause it flashes red at me all the time when I'm accidentally using ctrl instead of shift. ;)

come on swfc u r the best we r stayin up cum on sturrock buy a keeper

Babbler, yes, just over the coastal mountians. The coast is about 70-80. Just over the mountains is were the "action" is.

*sigh* now I'm dreaming about California....

Ha

Nailed that puppy!

Rank me, baby!

NO green or red!

Cue theme music!

later everyone

I love you all!

yay for limer :D

I'm done too!

yay steph! +~+~+ FIREWORKS +~+~+

Hey, btwrt

hey david :) how r u today?

Well, and you?

oh, i am wonderful :D

i've gotten very behind in the archives and so i'm using possibles to try to catch up ... *feels guilty*

Hehe

augh even possibles aren't helping. i seriously need a brain transplant

I still haven't finished yesterday's

yeah i was finishing that one up this morning. today's is actually really easy

was yesterday's hard? I haven't played for a couple of weeks.

make that 3 weeks

i'm not sure if it was hard really ... i just took a lot of time on it ;)

I'm so out of practice. : /

It's somewhat difficult if you aren't marking possibilities, I think

I got about half way / two thirds before I had to start marking today's. I tried green-free, but couldn't.

super easy today

Today's does appear to be easy

DrGod must have mistaken the level name. it should be named "easy" ;)

finished in 8 mins earlier today ow onto some harder archives!

man, i haven't seen dr_god in forever. i wonder how he's been.

i heard now DrJesus runs the business

lol bzik

hey yall!

im baaaack!!

i shall conquer another day. ELF OUT!

That was rated Hard?

Well that was certainly an easy "hard" ...now to go back and do the last 2 days now that I have had my internet connection restored!

wow. caff is a big dork ;) haha

... i can say that, because we're related :D

That does make it all right then. ;)

Yay! Yesterday's is now done. On to Monday's...

go

done

anyone else find that fairly easy?

yep, i did

hello

finished good luck everyone

that was easier than yesterday's

no way was that a hard one!!

no marks :D
