Tough one huh?

hi all

that was more medium than hard, not even a hard medium

yeah, that was a nice puzzle - no advanced techniques necessary at all. I'd have called it a medium.

That was easy, just crosshatching.

wow, this is exciting. Google is finally rolling out their new wireless service!

chebuctonian - That is a riot!! Somebody has way too much time on their hands...

apparently americans can see google paper stuff in Gmail

they had the classic PigeonRank explanation page, and the lunar base hiring page... :)

I'm glad they're working on solutions for data wipes!

hello all

SPREADEAGLE: Try yesterdays brainbasher sudoku very hard. I'm still trying to solve it with maybe an x wing and a y wing and no guessing,OK?

go

im tired, going green...

GO!

this is a sticky one!

greens are helpng alot

haven't plugged them in et... I just woke up, and I have a nagging feeling I'm overlooking something obvous... so I want to keep hunting for a bit before I go green

ditto but figured what-the-heck...

lol

done

gl

well done!

going green now

i just looked at the google-tisp-service... thankfully i remembered todays date... lol

oh crap... screwed up somewhere... dammit

LOL YEAH, THAT WAS GOOD. i WAS CURIOUS TILL i SAW THE TOILET... THEN IT CLICKJED. LOL

err... sorry for the shouting

ITS OK BY ME! LOL... holding shift-key for greens perhaps? :)

lol nah... just bumped caps lock

ive been kinda addicted to that brainbashers site since someone mentioned it here... oddly, i never do the sudoku, just the other puzzles. hate the maze-building one...

ok... something is really going wrong today... I screwed up again, but in a different part...

lets try this again...

the sixes are your friend...

lol I am getting those no problem, I don't kow where i'm going wrong... except for maybe I shoulkd hve made a pot of coffee before doing this. ;)

hmm... given the date, I was expecting an Expert with only six spots left, or an Easy that can't be solved. Go.

sigh - well at this point good luck seems underrated, how about rip-their-heads-off... ;)

hehe

earlier some people thought this was super easy, according to the chat log.

once i used greens (and worked on bottom right block), it all seemed to fall into place for me...

DONE!

congrats! :)

yikes! not one of my prouder puzzles... 2 restarts and 30 minutes

:)

thanks

hi abstract! :)

hi pappa :)

how you doing this fine day?

I'm good, thanks.

still too early to tell over here, though I did get to sleep in a couple hours, so that's a good sign. lol

oh, abstract... I wanted to thank you for sharing your photo album... I love looking at pictures. If you are interested, here's mine:

www.madcityfinearts.com

I love photography, but I'm not a good photograph :)

yeah, it's something that I've always been into, and it's such good therapy. lol

where in romania are you?

wow ! nice pics ! love your pics from austria (salzburg) ..

I'm from a little city .. the name is barlad

do u know romania ?

thanks!

I have never been to Romania, but I love traveling, and know my geography quite well... But I don't think I know Barlad

but I see it on a map... not too far from Moldova?

no :)

is near of iasi

Done! I would say this one was medium. Had to use greenies and then one good guess and it all fell into place.

BLEAH finally done

well done minski!

:)

that is a place, I've always wanted to visit abstract, here, in the US, ROmania gets described as almost an enchanted country

nice to hear this.

where u come from exactly ?

I am in Madison, Wisconsin

it's in the north... about 3 hours north of Chicago.

go

go andy go!

gl andy :)

my wif already did it... she warned me

nice. never visiting usa :( hope one day :)

well, there is a lot to visit, abstract.

sure

I've been here for 27 years, and there is a lot of the US that I haven't seen yet. of course, there is a lot of europe I haven't seen yet, either. lol

:)

next life, don't worry :))

lol there is a lot more of this life to go, I think :)

:)

at least I'd hope so... I'm only 27, so hopefully I've got a few more years of exploring left in me ;)

Done. No greens.

Wow!

yes, time to exploring twice

How the heck did you do that?!

exactly, abstract

I would have only used a handful of bivalue greens, and I can keep a good number of those in my head.

I've done an X-wing. Hard to see those without greens.

I used several naked pairs and one xwing.

all the time I resolve sudoku without greens .. but this tired me a lot ... what about u orange ?

so I can't make more then 2-3 without greens ...

done

I use them if I need to. Actually I don't often get through the hard ones without at least a few greens, but lately I've been working on not using them.

20 min, used greens. no advanced techniques needed.

This is only (I think) the third hard one I've completed without going green.

Done.

all right, I'lm outta here... have a good day everyone!

thanks and good day pappa !

:)

*poof*

easy with greens but without them I might have been here all night!

go

done. stumped after a just few numbers. used G+r autofill to complete.

brittlefish.com, you rock!

the IE6 autofill is the best!

Thanks Twin C!

how do you solve this thing? I know how to do Sudoku but not on line like this.

Look at the help section. That will get you started.l

ok working on it thanks

i wish i could do it by keyboard - having to click each square and then click again for the number slows me down - it'd be nice if i could click and type a number

Daneel, I've complained about that to the web designer and he says there's no way to fix it. If you'd like to have a script that can autofill your puzzle for you, check out my profile where I have the script available for anyone to use.

see I learned on this game, so now when I go to other sights and I have to click and then type a number is slows me down- just the opposite...

*sites hee hee

And now, one from the archives...

dang this is hard

go

done - & still 10 minutes of amazing race left, lol

...

:)

Difficulty score 36. Not too bad with the green. There are a few naked and hidden pairs to watch for.
