auto greens and reds???? Is that how some people can solve these puzzles in 5 minutes?

done. no greens (or reds :)

no, auto greens and reds simply fill in the possible numbers with green marks, except if there's only one or two potentials in a 3x3 grid. in that case they're red. sometimes it actually makes things take longer than if you did it manually.

which is one reason i also have a "clearnotes" script that erases all the greens and reds. :)

yeah but that still eliminates part of the human element of finding those possible numbers yourself.

I don't really care. I was just blown away at some of the solving times. Especially at the puzzles that are harder than easy.

I felt inadequate. hehehe

granted, but the human element for most people is simply rote clicking and filling the possibles. there is not much thinking involved and this simply gets the board to a point where you're thinking. oh, i know what you mean. some of these yayhoos :-) will solve an expert in five minutes with no greens at all.

brittlefish, I use your clear greens script more often than the auto fill - sometimes I need to take a fresh look even when I have manually filled in a bunch of greens. Thanks!

not too hard for a change

there's a "clear greens" script? I was hoping someone would come up with that

Sure. Just change grautofil() in the script to clearnotes() and it will clear the greens and reds. There's also gautofill() for traditional auto-greens and rowhint() to get a popup with the solution to a single row. brittlefish.com/2007/03/14/ironsudoku-ie6-aut

thanks brittlefish - I'll check it out.

hi helen! :)

hi bt

hows it going today?

FYI, just posted an article on creating browser bookmarklet buttons for grautofill(), gautofill(), clearnotes(), and rowhint(). brittlefish.com/2007/12/19/handy-ironsudoku-b

wow, that is so cool brittle! :)

yeah you noticed last night i didn't know how to help that guy? i prefer to fill them in on my own since i get a better feel for the puzzle that way, so i didn't have it saved anyplace. bookmarks are a very good idea

Yeah, i've had them set up like that for ages but when i saw your msg i realized i never mentioned creating the buttons.

done.. and I felt that was a slow time

hi

hello anyone there

hi there rocker !

you can always check the box "WHO'S ONLINE" to find out who's there...

ohh who r u

yo

hi

go

done

i wish i could finish one...

people aren't very talkative in here huh?

usually not

what does it mean when the row turns pink?

you have two of the same number there

thank you...

you can shift + click to get a small green number to keep track of possible numbers too. that helped me a bunch when I learned that one.

no prob

good luck.

thank you
