2:46 am
Moozey

I agree with Linda....easy with greens but errr I needed greens on an easy??? Think it must have been nearer a medium
2:49 am
h

tis finally breaking apart now - no greens - but tricky to start going.
2:53 am

Not that hard, but still lot more work than would expect from easy...

Difficulty score 20. Cross hatching is the only technique needed. It did seem harder than usual for an easy.

javascript:for (i=1; i<=9; i++) {for (j=1; j<=9; j++) {if (grid[i][j].value == '') {ClearTinySquares(i,j);}}}for (i=1; i<=9; i++) {for (j=1; j<=9; j++) {if (grid[i][j].value != '') {var tmp_value = grid[i][j].value;for (k=1; k<=9; k++) {for (l=1; l<=9; l++) {if (grid[k][l].value == '') {if ((Math.ceil(i/3) == Math.ceil(k/3) && Math.ceil(j/3) == Math.ceil(l/3)) || i == k || j == l) {grid[k][l]['mini'][tmp_value] = -1;}}}}}}}for (i=1; i<=9; i++) { for (j=1; j<=9; j++) { if (grid[i][j].value == '') { for (k=1; k<=9; k++) { if (grid[i][j]['mini'][k] != -1) grid[i][j]['mini'][k] = 1; }}}}for (i=1; i<=9; i++) {for (j=1; j<=9; j++) {if (grid[i][j].value == '') {for (k=1; k<=9; k++) {if (grid[i][j]['mini'][k] != 1) grid[i][j]['mini'][k] = 0;}}}}PopulatePuzzle(grid);void(0);

go. and that javascript is sweet. must not use must not use...
9:22 am
RandLS

that javascript doesnt solve anything but the most basic of cells for you
9:23 am
RandLS

and you can't re-use it once you start adjusting the markings anyway, so it's just a timesaver for busywork really. quite handy!
9:23 am
brittlefish.com

i meant from a technical standpoint it's cool. but i try to avoid greens and reds if at all possible.
9:28 am
Krys10

randls - you can reuse it - you can hit refresh on your browser and (for me) it updates
9:33 am
RandLS

yeah, you can re-use it to repopulate, but if you remove markings, it will put them back in
9:34 am
Krys10

oh, i see what you mean. i use another sudoku program in those cases - easier than the point and click for each little green number. hurts my hands.

Si, es facil ..

UnikeTheHunter

Well, Im going to break down and use greens. It seems a shame for the 1 and 2. This program doesnt permit apostrophe, thus misspelled Im and doesnt. Hard to type without putting apostrophes without thinking.
11:08 am
UnikeTheHunter

Hey, plurple put in an apostrophe. But when I try it, it goes to Find mode. Probably a feature of Firefox.
