So I have to get up at 7 tomorrow morning ...

done

Sheesh. Four rounds of guesses to solve

Wow, I know the 'ranking' and points numbers aren't relevant, but I'm oddly pleased to note that tomorrow the 'Elite' players should all be on 9999 points :)

start

pause for sleep

Whew, that was tough! ok now.

done

KT - ha,ha. Living in the desert, good one. I live in a place that has all 4 seasons big time, & I heart dry humor. Keep it up.

after some delay I finished this one. green, some coloring, and then an impossible chain. pfff ==> 1 before my holidy.

what a stinker this one is

Well - this one is beyond my meager abilities. I have tried every technique I know and cannot crack it. I could not find the chain to which Mr Ooijer refers even though I know it is there.

Finally beat this bugger

Finally , third guess

I reckon DrG will give us another tough one to get over the 10,000. Sadly MrO I will be just starting my arvo shift at exactly the time the puzzle comes up so will be about 11 hours behind you lot.
