It's a legit Easy

you should fail once and a while so you have a puzzle for in the morning ;)

I'm done :)

Morning all...

Nite Cad...sweet dreams

Hope the little ones not keepin you awake

Darn, didn't get around to finishing yesterday's

it would be if I hadn't accidentally deleted all my work. sigh

ooops artlady! it does seem to be filling in easily.

that's that. Night, morning, all

night artlady!

woot....done

330 am in boston

Hey Atalante :) Easy one today.

it's 4:30AM here

that's in the middle of the night

good evening from adelaide

where is that?

chebuctonian?

That's technically very early in the morning

adelaide? australia?

hi sprite :) good! I like easy today! I'm hoping babble is easy too ...

australia

I'm in Nova Scotia, on the East coast of Canada

ahhh, i see

Didn't look into babble yet, but I will after finishing this one.

must be beaut up there

don't like babble, because i'm not a native speaker...

Well, I am nowhere near native speaker myself, but I love it...

chebucto = Halifax?

yup. you too, apsmith?

I've been to Halifax a few times - grew up in Newfoundland. but in NY now

3:30 there in NY, right?

Uh, look at that :-)

well, it said it was easy - almost done!

And I'd say 3:30 counts as night, not morning

haha... after-noon is not morning anymore, right?

I consider after-midnight the next day..I guess we don't have first light yet, so still night ;)

Well, I do need to get some sleep - good night, or morning :0

wheee! done! over to babble ...

I'll be following you shortly... if I don't get interrupted by some inconsiderate telephone again ;)

212 words ...

the next day starts for me when i get up... got me sometimes into trouble... (booking a car for "tomorrow" 5 past midnight --ooooh!)

Hey Ginger!

Nice easy one today!

Haha. About time!!!

This is silly, though. Bit TOO simple.

my kids just started their Easter break and concentration isn't coming easy!

Uh oh! Lol. Do you take time off work to be with them in the hols?

I am a SAHM!

Lol a what?

Does it mean you're at home anyway?

stay at home mum!

Lol awesome!

2 of my kids have disabilies... so I need to be here really!

That must be hard. You're not on your own though, are you?

yes!

Yayayyyy I'm done!

Omg, you poor thing!

blimey, that was quick!

It was too easy.

Not that I'm complaining, after the brainache I got yesterday!

lol

Okay, I'm gonna go have a look at the Babble!! =-( I suck at it though!

Catch ya soon! x-x-x

bye xx

this is too easy for my liking

even on the easy one, i get stuck.
*sigh*

oh no, I screwed up with just two small squares to fill :(

finished

20mins, quite long for an easy to be fair

20 mins here also. (agree - 20 mins quite long for an easy one) : )

it took a little while (15 here), but there weren't any difficult algorithms to follow...

What's going on here?

I just logged in today and it says I completed today's puzzle

Hit Ctrl + r

Oh. I bet I know what happened. I was logged in at my fiancee's place last night doing yesterday's puzzle

I bet she solved it under my profile this morning

is it not refreshed?

hax is her screen name Rachel

yeah

i saw her then, yesterday

but she did not say hi to me

Yeah, she did yesterday's puzzle before me

she posted that she finished

and i said, oh, are you THE rachel? hax's rachel

but she did not respond :(

She must've been distracted

I'll figure this out once I talk with her today :)

or ashamed :)

Heh. Right :)

sorry - you just seem like a teasable guy, somehow

it's the icon, I think :)

Yeah, I think so. It's okay though, I can take it

i have to take a nap! but i wanted to get the sudoku out of the way first

a nap at 9am (CST)
?

a nap at 9am (CST)?

i didn't sleep well

a nap at 9am CST?

sorry, had to get on the bandwagon

lol

Sorry. This is haxored. I logged in as her so I could still do today's puzzle :D

a nap at 9am CST?

ahhhh

hurshy, I have a ginger tabby too - is your M or F?

m

mine's ripping up the carpet right now :) she likes babble better than sudoku because she gets to participate more.

ripping up carpet???

well, I just yelled at her to stop.

Yeah, cats aren't known much for their logic comprehension depth

hmph, speak for your own cats

:)

Cat's don

Cat's don't have to do sudoku, their pet humans do it for them

true 'nough! but phoenix likes suggesting babble words, wacks the keyboard while I'm working on the grid...

there, that's done.

good for you!

now i can try to sleep.

cats are lame

There

Now I can go back to being the real me

Well that was a mind-opening experience which I am sure can only enhance our relationship

welcome back. it's like a freaky friday movie.

You finished already?

Yeah

Wow

I'm slow going

I gotta get better at these - takes way too much time otherw ise!

I think hurshy did it faster than I did

that was simple

yes, we've already established that everyone's doing it faster than me and ronin :)

*high fives Krys*

Slow and steady wins the race right?

slow and steady, eh ronin?

*grin*

precisely

We don't race to the finish, we enjoy the journey

I enjoy the points

:D

yay, an easy was finally easy

I wish I couod sit and watch one of your experts do one of these - I think I'd learn so much more than trying to decipher all the help websites.

There we go

Just finished, only took me... 30 minutes

Congrats! I'm almost there - on the "running downhill" part

yeah it solved itself for the last third

Yay done! Off to get some caffiene; see you all later!

hello evryone :)

i'am using firefox now and having a huge dellay after pressing keys. dos enyone has the same?

I have it everyone once in a while, but it is not regular

it might just be your computer today, yul... i had the same issue last evening, but after a restart it was fine. :)

yeh, my mac is trecherous :(

Damn, now I'm finished. What am I going to do for the rest of the day?

Thank goodness for the ego boost of an easy puzzle

w00t that was easy!

finally a puzzle that was appropriately labelled

the expert the other day was pretty expert :)

fin

going to restart my nachine & see if i loose keys delay

Finished!

yay!

yes, I did it!

Nailed that Puppy!

Rank me, baby!

i did not finish the expert one yesterday.

tried for 2 hours

Or was it the day before yesterday?

wow, i think that broke my losing streak.

for the past few days, every puzzle I try (online, on paper) I've been screwing up somehow

hm. why am i having such a hard time with this?

hm. why am i having such a hard time with this?

hm. why am i having such a hard time with this?

hm. why am i having such a hard time with this?

whew! wasn't this one a relief after the expert one they threw at us a few days ago?!?

nice to see another 'easy' one. let's see how long it takes!

oh lovely an easy one i may have a chance today LOL

m3 don't get too excited, it's not as easy as it says!

linda. oh no really!!!! oh heck i had big hopes too

ok im going in !!!!!!!

m3 -how far have you got?

emmmmmmmmmmmmm ask me later got to the 6's then !!! emm

linda. you?

started off well but now .... i might have to give up

dont give up its an easy !!!

but easy means real hard!

yeah rofl

maybe for us beginers hey !!

i've messed up and got other things to do. can't believe an 'easy' sudoku has beaten me but there you go. it's another day tomorrow! hope you have more luck.

Got it!!

done!

linda start with the 3's

done

Oh, shoot, I messed up too.

Dang it!!!

Is this possible to do without printing it out?

clue: when finish the numbers that are logical and quickly to plece, start whit the 3

yes

its possible

withou priting out

it seems I would need to make notes in each box of possible numbers

no

ya'll do know about the little green numbers right?

start with the 3

no!

use small red and green numbers - hold shift or alt when you click the number - use the colors as you will

oh!!!! DOh!

click to select a number, hold shift and click your number

no one reads instructions anymore

;-)

That's why this has been so tough!

Nope...I didn't read a thing. :)

thedave, this game dont need thet type of help, because its possible to do it

I'm sure it always is, but I'm not smart enough for that.

possible, but more time consuming and aggravating blitz

look clooser to the 3

the dave - everyone uses the greenies, don't worry bout ole superior blitzy there.

im not superiour, i just said that is possible without that kind of help. nothing more

tis only gentle ribbing blitzy

your being "sinic"

it is best to get as far as you can before filling in the greens here, because there isn't much in the way of highlighting tooks. Offline, I always work from fully filled in

that should be tools

reduces clutter too cader

right. With Simple Sudoku, you have the 1-9 and pairs button, which mean that the little markup numbers are not as distracting

until you need them, you can kind of ignore them... Here you don't have that option

pairs button?

See screenshot at http://angusj.com/sudoku/

okay, going there.

i see said the blind woman.

...as she picked up her hammer and saw.

yikes!

i like how simple sudoku elinates human error.

Yay!

caderoux, i wanted to ask you yesturday but you disappeared...did you finish expert sudoku from 2 days ago with 1 or more chains?

anyone know of a program like that for Mac?

a few pop up if you google: sudoku solver mac

i reckon, nobody worked it out without lucky guesses. it was an evil one :(

really easy. i have done without guess at all

i ment evil one from 2 days ago

mi spelling is terrible, sorry

:)

yeah I had to "guess" (forcing chains) twice on that one.

also the first puzzle I had to print to work on away form the computer.

did you use software, Christopher?

no

The subscript notation in this site was good enough.

I have been looking for a software that would work just like this site for my puzzles from other sites. I love the interface here.

the shift and alt key thing is awesome.

I ment this site or paper :) i dont believe in anything else

I would like an extra coulour miself

yul: as well as red and green?

could help with simultenious chains

aah

yep, the 3rd one

that would be nice.

I wish that once we finish the puzzle for the day that we could play random unranked puzzles.

I have a book for that

but i love instance of this site

I'd kind of like that too

There's also websudoku.com, but it's kind of mediocre

I've mainly used Simple Sudoku and Sudo Cue. You're right about the interface here for the selection - much nicer than the regular context menu. I generally play here on an ultra small tablet PC in bed, BTW.

yeah. I started playing on websudoku but after coming here it is hard to go back. =)

For sure

Yep the interface here is terrific

AJAX on Rails, love it :)

This site doesn't use Rails. I heard it's handmade AJAX and PHP.

also i want 3 save check point buttons, please, dr god

Well, it uses prototype.js, which is a very Railsy thing, though I'm not privvy to any secret knowledge

it does feellike a Rails app to me though

Good Evening, all.

and hello as well

caderoux: you're right, it's not Rails

Didn't screw it up that time, yay.

solve sudoku with SQL server

Wow

Why would you want to do that

i dont know. but I think he just did it to do it

my father wants to solve su doku with perl

oh yeah. it's "Su Doku" not "sudoku"

hrmmm mmmkay thanks

let me get back to this sudoku

Thuryn...your dad wants to solve sudoku with perl? I have a link for him, 1 min

http://www.vsj.co.uk/articles/display.asp?id=

wow, that link looks a lot like the link i posted 30 mins ago

has anyone played the game kakuro?

um I think it Ka Kuro

hey everybody

hey beaker

i dunno, i'm not japanese

i don't like it as much, even though i like math, i like the logic aspect of sudoku more

i was just playing I guess you havent read the last few posts

is there some trick to this one?

i've restarted twice and come up against a brick wall

damn this

mmmm, colby cheese

sorry, not hitting on you, just thinking out loud

these puzzles are pretty challenging, even on easy difficulty

thuryn are you still around? i can try to help...

ok no takers. g'night all.

I finished, and my friend beaker had to start over :)

me meep, me me me meep - like that beaker?

thats me

muppet babies rule

muppet babies, they make their dreams come true... muppet babies, they'll do the same for you... (hmmm, 20 years later don't know if those are the right words)

sounds pretty close to me

well, in that case, it's probably kind of creepy

agreed

haha! and on that note i'll take my leave. g'night folks.

good night

woohoo

muppet babies strike again

Yahoo! this is a good way to do these puzzles!
