hi agian it is giving me pro users only..

Only pro users can access the archives. Is that was you are trying to do?

yep that is what is saying but let me ask ,sorry,where i can find puzzles to solve..specially to play against someone..lol..

this site isn't set up for collaborative/competitve puzzle solving, just solving 'em individually and chatting about them...

This month there is apparently an Expert Tuesday special. So far every Tuesday this month has been an expert, plus 1 Saturday.

I finally solved yesterday's expert without guessing. The Alternating Inference Chain technique works!

hehe, indeed it does.

I was a bit unsure of it at first too, but when I ran it and everything turned out valid, well... :)

AIC is very powerful, it actually subsumes all of the other advanced chain techniques. You can actually combine the XY chain technique with simple and multi-coloring techniques and probably others whose name I don't even know.

I think it's going to a highly valuable technique to know for future troublesome puzzles.

Yes, and I find it easy to "try". It takes a good deal of work to actually find a chain that is useful, but it is easy to construct chains and see where they lead.

Yesterday's puzzle also had a death blossom in it, although it wasn't terribly useful other than solving for a naked pair (which didn't lead to much else)

hello..has anyone missing their 18th June puzzle in their archives? That's strange.

mine is missing too

i had a print-out of it but can't access it now.

it's happened before, don't remember how it was resolved. it was just fixed one day.

ic... thks.

an email to dr_god (link at the bottom of the page) will probably get you fixed up quick.

cool..thks. No big deal, tho. :-)

btw - since the puzzles are all numbered, then just go to archive 465 to bring up the puzzle.

it worked..thks
