4:46 pm
Montreal13

well... babble is done, iron sudoku is done... guess it's time for some weboggle...
4:46 pm
hurshy

go Team Babble!
4:47 pm
Montreal13

I salute babblers everywhere !
4:47 pm
hurshy

but do you play on Team Babble at weboggle?
4:49 pm
Montreal13

no, i play the regular Babble; sometimes, i go to the weboggle site for quick 3-minutes games - i did not know there was a "team babble" in weboggle !!??
4:49 pm
hurshy

yes, if people all enter the same name their scores count together (though not double on the same word), so many Babblers play under the name Team Babble.
4:50 pm
hurshy

if you announce that you are about to play in Babble chat, you can often collect some teammates for right then.
4:50 pm
hurshy

i started it :)
4:51 pm
Montreal13

ahhhhhhh... that probably explains why some "names" in weboggle reach such amazing scores... congrats on starting this !
4:51 pm
hurshy

it's been a "standing invitation" for a long while now.
4:52 pm
hurshy

what good looking cats i have!
4:53 pm
hurshy

someone should tell them that there's more to life than being really really really good looking.
4:53 pm
Montreal13

so if i just enter "team babble" in the weboggle first page and some other babbler has done it as well, our score will both count under the same team ?
4:54 pm
hurshy

yes indeed. i don't remember if it is case sensitive. i think it is. i always put Team Babble.
4:54 pm
hurshy

i'll come play now too.
4:54 pm
Montreal13

tx, will give it a try ! and yes, your cat icon at least is very nice !
4:55 pm
hurshy

oh, we pretty much always play 5x5
4:55 pm
hurshy

at least i don't know if anybody plays 4x4
4:55 pm
Montreal13

good thing you told me cause i usually go for the 4x4
4:56 pm
Montreal13

it's a humbling experience, in my case, for both 4x4 and 5x5

UnikeTheHunter

If anybody is still working on yesterday's Medium, there is a situation I've never seen described before in the upper left block.
5:48 pm
Zugzug7

it was another of those rare occaions where only guessing would get you the right result. Guess wrong... start over. Guess right... paydirt.
5:51 pm
UnikeTheHunter

I did it without guessing, but I did find that peculiar wxyz thingamajig in the upper left.
7:21 pm
drwho

Naw, the thingy in the upper left corner was an example of virtual cross-hatching. The scanraid site calls it box/line reduction.
7:22 pm
jawilke

go... no greens
7:23 pm
drwho

Scanraid uses the term intersection removal, and lists 2 types: pointing pairs and box/line reduction. We usually see the pointing pair type, the box/line reduction technique is harder to spot and rarely needed.

Mamabear, is that 75 point or an old 75RPM record?
