UnikeTheHunter

Well, I got quite a bit of work done without greens, but now I'm going green.
9:13 am
OrangeSlice

I used a couple naked pairs to solve it, but didn't green them in.
9:29 am
UnikeTheHunter

Got it. Broken by a tripple.
9:56 am
spellacked

Greenless. Mostly crosshatching with a little scan-the-row kinds of things solved it all.

OrangeSlice

6/28 is the best day of the year because not only is 6.28 2*pi, 6 and 28 are perfect numbers.
6:10 pm
OrangeSlice

So says my math professor.
6:10 pm
OrangeSlice

By the way, tomorrow is international Pi day. Celebrate!
8:57 pm
davekingpt

Remind me what a perfect number is.
8:58 pm
derfasaurus

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_number
8:59 pm
davekingpt

Can't put it in your own words? *LOL*
9:00 pm
derfasaurus

hehe
9:00 pm
derfasaurus

n mathematics, a perfect number is defined as an integer which is the sum of its proper positive divisors, that is, the sum of the positive divisors not including the number. Equivalently, a perfect number is a number that is half the sum of all of its positive divisors, or σ(n) = 2 n.
9:00 pm
derfasaurus

copied and pasted from wikipedia for mr lazy bones
9:03 pm
davekingpt

In other words, if you take all the possible whole numbers that can be multiplied by another whole number to obtain to obtain "X" and the sum of these numbers results in "X", then "X" is a perfect number.
9:03 pm
davekingpt

minus the obvious typo is this what you're looking for?
9:04 pm
derfasaurus

yeah
9:05 pm
derfasaurus

1+2+3=1x2x3=6 6 is a perfect number
9:06 pm
davekingpt

So what do you do with a perfect number when you find one?
9:06 pm
derfasaurus

i have no idea
9:06 pm
derfasaurus

love it and hold it and never let it go
9:06 pm
davekingpt

Kinda like a tall thin blonde. Interesting to find and arrive at but you can't do much with it.
9:07 pm
davekingpt

we kinds said the same thing.
9:07 pm
derfasaurus

yeah but im no math major nor am i a pimp
9:08 pm
derfasaurus

ill let you decide which item would be more appropriate for each lifestyle
9:08 pm
davekingpt

Oh, you're headed in the wrong direction.
9:09 pm
davekingpt

What's your icon by the way? It breaks up when I try to look at it enlarged.
9:09 pm
derfasaurus

but i can do today's sudoku and have no drive to go back to the archives today
9:09 pm
derfasaurus

its smoke
9:09 pm
derfasaurus

looks like a question mark
9:09 pm
davekingpt

It's either smoke or an interesting shadow play on a vase.
9:10 pm
davekingpt

A Greek vase I assume
9:10 pm
derfasaurus

its smoke
9:10 pm
derfasaurus

a picture of smoke on an all black background with just a little whiff of air that made it turn in on itself
9:11 pm
davekingpt

were you lighting farts again?
9:11 pm
derfasaurus

no, it was the incense for the aftermath
9:11 pm
derfasaurus

im out of here
9:13 pm
Thales

why is it that even when these are easy these still turn out to be hard
9:13 pm
davekingpt

I have gotten totally off track with this one
9:14 pm
davekingpt

the greens seem to be confusing me.
9:14 pm
Thales

and what does everyone mean by greens? ive seen that a lot...
9:14 pm
davekingpt

It's a way of marking which number you think are candidtaes for a square
9:15 pm
Thales

ah
9:15 pm
davekingpt

click on a square like when you enter a number only hold the shift key and enter the number
9:15 pm
davekingpt

you get a small green number.
9:15 pm
Thales

neat
9:15 pm
davekingpt

to mark numbers you've eliminated click on "alt" and the number and you get a small red
9:16 pm
davekingpt

In the newspaper I mark a small dot according to the grid location of 1-9.
9:19 pm
Thales

but as i was asking before, why are these so freaking hard? Normally I can manage most difficulty settings, struggling only on what other sites call evil. But here, jesus.
9:21 pm
OrangeSlice

There's a formula to find a perfect number
9:21 pm
davekingpt

Yeah, I sometimes play another site called Soduko Craving. They don't have the "greenies" available and I finish even their hardest puzzles in under 20 minutes. Some of the ones here I have never finished
9:21 pm
Thales

formula?
9:22 pm
davekingpt

I dated a perfect 10 once. Does that count?
9:22 pm
OrangeSlice

{2^n(2^(n-1) - 1)} where n is any prime number.
9:22 pm
OrangeSlice

I think.
9:22 pm
Thales

but what does that have to do with sudoku? if you don't mind my asking.
9:23 pm
OrangeSlice

Look for the sixes first.
9:26 pm
OrangeSlice

I have a box that only has 1,2,3, and 6 in it right now!
9:26 pm
OrangeSlice

It is a perfect box.
9:28 pm
plurple

Uh..... ok
9:28 pm
davekingpt

The only perfect box has a single black number in it
9:30 pm
OrangeSlice

I also have a box with 2,3, and 9 in it. 3^2 is 9, so we can conclude that the box is, in fact, perfectly square, and should not have any more numbers placed in it until no other candidates are available.
9:38 pm
Andy

That was pretty easy
9:38 pm
Andy

Used greens, took about 20 min or so
9:41 pm
OrangeSlice

I'm going to see if a sudoku can be solved with digital roots.
9:43 pm
OrangeSlice

*puts on experimentation cap*
9:56 pm
OrangeSlice

Ok, no, you can't solve a sudoku with digital roots.
