hi all

hi peternl - what is the picture in your profile?

done.

Sungroper, my solar powered car (see sungroper.asn.au)

Fantastic, in the tiny picture on here the "teeth" look like exhaust headers on a Corvette.

go!

ok, ready set go

done

also done. no reds or greens.

what are reds and greens?

Hold down "shift" when you click on a cell and you can label the possible numbers for the cell.

oooh.... cool! actually I don't think I'd use it... I tried little notations on my newspaper sudoku, and it just got muddled, and confused me. lol

off to work... good day everyone

It can really help on the harder puzzles.

whats the deal, when was the last time a puzzle on this site wasn't easy or medium

i get so bored of them

Go.

Difficulty score 16. I'm sure it's easier than it seemed to me. I missed lots of obvious things today.

geez... what the heck doc? ;^)

When I realized how easy it could have been I felt like kicking my self, but I'm not that flexible.

Well, I'm still working on it half an hour after I begun. But nearly done. I don't see things very readily.

hehehehehe

I'm just kidding. You usually think things are easier than I do. =)

*Bending over* maybe one of those red shoes could do the job for me.

*swings, but misses on purpose* I'm not really that mean. =)

yes she is

don't listen to him. he doesn't know anything about me. nope. not a bit.

*kicks binaryslave*

ack - a couple of blind spots -- a 3 a 6 and a 9 that I should have spotted, and I could have skipped the greens.

Done. I'm glad it was easy. I don't like using greens.

I feel better, I'm not the only one missing things today.

am i doing the same puzzle??!!

yay! done with no greens!

off to babble

(quickly deletes all the greens)

yeah i just stared at the board for about 5 minutes without realizing the a most obvious 9 almost bit me

The computer says that cross hatching is the only technique you need today.

done

looks a little tricky for an easy....

ok.... just read the chat .... guess it's me

never mind.... done

not that anyone was listening anyway..... *watches tumbleweed roll through chat log*

wow! haven't done one of these for at least 2 months

Hey Mama - Don't feel bad! We were listening.

Well, maybe........

maybe mama got abducted

beep beep

...or...not...

is anyone out there or is this some huge sudoku void?

we be here, we just ain't pay'n much attention...

ok.

i must be too conversational for serious sudokuers

nah, I'm just doing some paperwork inbetween puzzles.

as a serious conversational sudokuer, i resent that remark

thanks

it's great to see a happy cat face here :)

marty is the happiest cat in the WORLD

i have a happy cat too!!!

:)

we just call him kitty or anything that happens to come out of our mouth at the time

he doesn't seem to mind

lol

i have 3, and they all know their names.

*proud mama look*

i have four but i only like one of them even though they're all happy

!

the others have names

uh oh

ironic that the one i like is the one i didn't bother to name

yes, rather

we call him miesh or meesh. it's a spanish word for cat but i don't know how to spell it

dang it all

sorry, that sounds good, i just went too hastily cause it was an easy and messed up

oh darn

i totally understand

ok i'm stuck

i forgot how to do this!!! *frustration*

but it is an easy one! even i didn't have to guess today

i know

but i haven't done one for months

Piece of pie ..

:)

yay!!!

i guess it wasn't that hard

thanks hurshy for sharing cat stories see you all soon!!! bye

ttfn

Miller - Spanish for cat is "gato". My dictionary doesn't have miesh or meesh.

lol

hurshy - you might find this amusing (re: cat names) http://www.defectiveyeti.com/archives/001523.

The most cats we had at one time is our current four. Two are siblings we adlopted at the same time. My son broke the leg of one and it eventually died. The others are pretty happy but one is psycho and is afraid of everyone except my wife. It reminds me of a bird how it turns its head to see if anyone is close by. She runs for cover pretty much every time I walk into the room she's in.

They all have names but we hardly ever use them.

Momma and Baby usually work on two of them. The girls are Tink and Belle.

I'm currently working on a new record streak of 30 puzzles in a row. When I go Pro I'll have to fill in the ones I missed prior.

this is so much easier on paper

really? I think it's easier online. to each his own I guess

okay that's! it i'm going to copy it on paper.

DDG - Don't give up. It is much easier on-line once you get used to it. Have you tried clicking on a cell while holding the "shift" or "alt" keys so you can add notes about possibilities?

thanks spreadeagle for the tip. thats what i do on paper but i didn't know how to do it online.

thanks spreadeagle for the tip. thats what i do on paper but i didn't know how to do it online.

huh... didn't know about the alt key. ha.

what do you use reds for?

you can use them as a reminder that a certain number can't go in that box

interesting. ok.

ddg - it also helps to pay the money and go pro so you can save checkpoints.

Amen. Sure beats starting over........

mmm hmmmm

go

this is my first time, what do you mean pay the money minski?

Guys. I don't remember how I did it. Can someone help me out here?

you just click on somethign that says "Join Pro" or something

check up in the right corner

where it shows you signed in

Click on "Help", then click on "Going Pro"

okay got it

just got it but I see y ou already got there.

Not only is Ana a babble ninja, she's a sudoku ninja, too.

she is also apparently not paying attention to the chat log.

bwahaha

okay i messed up already

Oh, now I am

Hi-ya!

(sudoku ninjaing)

hehehe

ddg - I always start by going through the grid in order 1-9 to see what works then put in the greens.

is anybody finished with it?

nope, not yet. just finished 1st pass through. will do a 2nd one and then put in the greens.

done

DDG - You will find that the "regulars" try to solve the puzzles without using the "greens" or "reds". It's not easy for some of us, but we keep trying.

I'm a regular and I always use the greens.

never use the reds though.

Make that some "regulars"........

yeah, i always use greens and not reds as well. no particular reason, though, just the way I've always done it.

well i'm getting the hang of it

man, i love this class.

story time with Papa Lansing

mmmmm chilifingers

tasty for snapping turtles, i bet

not so much for vegetarians, though.

ha! anyone reading this who's not in torts class right now probably thinks we're a couple of loons.

and they're probably right.

what exactly is a coniption?

umm a fit? Freak out?

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww

eyeball stories are gross

oh my...

You're right, Leigh, this class is totally awesome

I think I broke my brain today

not working so well

broken brains are no good

seriously

trying to archives

totally out of it.

bah

i'm still working on today's Easy puzzle, if it makes you feel any better

I did that while my brain was still fresh this morning. But it's done broke since then. gah.

yay, first full box done.

your mom is violative of public decency!

Your mom is intentional infliction of mental distress.

your mom is medically demonstrable

Your mom is a chronic situation

your mom is strictly an insult

your mom stinks to me

your mom is a common carrier

lol, that one is good.

I love how every law class eventually devolves into "your mom" jokes.

have you noticed how half the civil suits we read about are filed by moms or wives?

really? I hadn't

we have to protect people from bandits!

ah yes, bandits.

yes! dine, now gotta go back to work

thanks everybody for the tips.

...ok, time for me to join in the your mom jokes

Take it away, Strider

hi andy :-)

I took your mom away

hi leigh

your mom is intentional or reckless

wooo, finally done! now for babble.

you should sue me for intentional infliction of emotional distress because of what you saw me doing to your mom last night

Bad strider!

You don't want to get banned!

lol, would the iron sudoku people ban us for making your mom jokes?

I'm not sure actually...

Wouldn't want to find out though; what would I do during torts class!??

heh, yeah, that would be a problem. There's another good sudoku site that andy and I use, but it doesn't have a chat log.

That makes it not so much fun!

I do like gamesforthebrain.com sudoku though.

wow

lansing is....

lansing is....

special

That's one word....

hilarious is another

you know what makes me happy? "tater" is recognized as a word in babble.

why are the "easy"ones hard and the "hard" ones easy?

OK so did I hear that right? He has half a llama?

I've noticed that too, dave. I think it depends n your stratagy or something.

yes, i believe that was the gist of that story. He owns half of the llama, but the whole llama is in his back yard.

WOW!

i want a llama.

Sorry, my level of excitement probably didn;t warrent all caps there.

actually, i think i'd rather have an alpaca.

then you could make yarn

alpacas have softer wool

exactly

and dye it all kinds of purdy colors.

Then sell is online and become a yarn mogel.

i think i would call myself a "yarn monger" because I like the word monger.

hmmm yarn monger is better...

or i could combine monger and mogel and call myself a yarn mongol.

haha

neat

You would be the purl of the yarn industry.

tee-hee

and i could give you lovely alpaca yarn and you could turn it into ninjaly knitted objests

lol

that was terribly

er, terrible

sweet! Do it Leigh, you have a yard after all.

i do?

my parents have a yard, i just have a patio

Don't you?

go

done
