mikehell

It actually wasn't that difficult, one thing to spot and that will solve everything...
12:41 am
kebek

still slowly adding numbers without green.
12:42 am
lawfully

hmmm, expert...
12:44 am
raggedyandy3478

u fell back to one under me in the rankings, what happened?
12:45 am
lawfully

I don't know... may have missed one last sunday... though I don't think I missed one
12:45 am
mikehell

I need lots of green, But those always solve it for me quite nicely...
12:48 am
lawfully

not bad for an expert... until now
12:48 am
kebek

yeah, i think i hit the wall.
12:49 am
raggedyandy3478

same
12:51 am
dinoshadow

was this an easy expert or just got lucky this time?
12:51 am
WHB

Done
12:51 am
kebek

seems not too bad, but i'm trying to do it without marking, and i'm a bit stuck at the moment.
12:52 am
raggedyandy3478

i havent used marks in quite a while
12:52 am
dinoshadow

The one that made it fall in place for me was the first row the number to the left of the 9. Once I got that, the rest just kind of fell.
1:00 am
lawfully

guess I have hit the spot you're talking about...
1:01 am
raggedyandy3478

welcome lawfully
1:01 am
lawfully

haha
1:04 am
lawfully

do I need a guess?
1:04 am
raggedyandy3478

idk, im trying to make it w/out guessing
1:07 am
peternl

hi all
1:08 am
raggedyandy3478

hello
1:11 am
lawfully

done... made one guess and it all fell through... I guess I was lucky
1:13 am
lawfully

good night
1:15 am

1:52 am
Krys10

1:52 am
Krys10

funny, i thought peternl was from the netherlands
1:54 am
fairy.floss

1:58 am
fairy.floss

i think i can recognise the aus flag since i live there
2:00 am
fairy.floss

chatty bunch arent we! ? :S
3:56 am
h

i assume that 19 is the stuck-point? lots of 2-choices which prolly means a single-guess will solve it...
3:57 am
MrOoijer

you mean 19 filled in? yes I am stuck with 19 filled in -- seems I need a guess now
3:58 am
h

yup - thats what i meant. im assuming ANY choice (on any 2-choice) will cause the thing to either work - or fail...
3:59 am
MrOoijer

i'd like to try coloring first, but that's difficult without paper
4:00 am
h

hmmm? i just fillin greens and then 'choose' a red as my guess and follow-the-reds to see the outcome. in fact, ive already chosen-wrong, so i assume itll just fall out now...
4:01 am
MrOoijer

lol, didnt think of that (using the red for coloring)
4:02 am
h

yup - never understood the whole use-red-for-not-possible thing...
4:02 am
MrOoijer

same with me, never used the reds
4:03 am
MrOoijer

sorry, coffee break is over, cu
4:03 am
h

oddly, my 'guess' in the center-square did NOT resolve the whole puzzle... interesting... cu
4:07 am
h

nevermind - done. yup - it broke down quickly with one 'correct' guess.
4:57 am
Grendel

definatly not hard.
4:58 am
Grendel

you people and your guessing
6:17 am
nstrich

Easy.
6:18 am
nstrich

No guesses either. Guessed once first time round, but buggered it and started again - no guesses then.
7:24 am
1MoreGame

easy, but I take the 5 points
7:24 am
eyeman

me too
9:00 am
yul

hello everybody
9:01 am
drwho

Hello Yul.
9:07 am
yul

how it's going drwho
9:12 am
drwho

Not bad, so far it's an easy expert.
9:15 am
yul

i have to look for a brake trough. I don't use greens
9:16 am
drwho

So far I haven't used green either.
9:16 am
yul

i managed to get stuck
9:18 am
drwho

I am at 19 filled in and like h and MrOoijer, I'm stuck.
9:19 am
yul

you are 5 figures further than me
9:23 am
drwho

I just broke the deadlock at 19.
9:23 am
yul

:)
9:32 am
drwho

Big break through!
9:34 am
yul

I got 18 filled. I am blind today
9:36 am
drwho

It looks like I am about to solve this one or discover some nasty mistake.
9:37 am
drwho

Solved, without any green or red!
9:37 am
drwho

Probably the easiest 5 points ever.
9:37 am
yul

congrads!
9:40 am
drwho

Difficulty score 38? The program had to guess. I haven't taught it forcing chain logic. That's what broke it open for me.
9:54 am
yul

finally. But it was an easiest forcing chain ever
9:55 am
drwho

Congratulations!
9:56 am
yul
