solved it, it said "you solved this puzzle", but no points - and now it is back to half solved. Site is bugged - or gremlinned!
6:04 am
spreadeagle

It got me yesterday. I suggest saving checkpoints as you finish the puzzle.
6:06 am
sprite

I was just thinking the same thing. Just before entering the last number. I made a checkpoint when I had to be afk for a while and I am back to that point now.

9:34 am
spreadeagle

Look at the 1's
9:35 am
hokie carla

yes, the green is not helping
9:39 am
UnikeTheHunter

Looking at 1's helped a little.
9:40 am
UnikeTheHunter

...provided I didn't make a mistake in my logic.
9:40 am
spreadeagle

I found "something" I could do with the 1's that busted it wide open.

1:19 pm
spreadeagle

My motto: If it ain't fun, don't do it!
1:20 pm
Grace O'Malley

spreadeagle

It won't let me erase it and start over. Hmmm...
1:54 pm
Grace O'Malley

Blast don't you hate when that happens
2:01 pm
spreadeagle

It was the 1 in the center cell that led to the solution.
2:10 pm

9:17 pm

h - you don't need green if you can figure out the 1 in the center cell. 3 more from the archives done. I can no longer focus. To bed I go.
9:27 pm
h

done - took finding a hidden triplet in col-6 to move forward tho...
9:28 pm
h

interesting, i hadnt noticed your message - thanx for the clue - maybe itll help someone else. :)
9:29 pm

actually i guess it was a naked-triple, but i didnt see it until the greens came up...
9:47 pm
torgone

Was Feb. 3's "hard" really hard, or am I just really stupid?
9:49 pm
drwho

It was fairly hard. I gave it a score of 25, but I thought it should have been higher.
9:53 pm
torgone

I have about a 90% completion rate using nothing more complex than naked pairs (I guess) but this one is baffling me . .
9:56 pm
torgone

I guess if I took the time to learn about hidden pairs/ triples whatever yadda yadda, I would get them all, but I don't have that commitment level . .
9:57 pm
drwho

If I remember correctly, there is a hidden pair or 2 in the Feb. 3 puzzle.
