wow! did it in about 8 minutes; finished with less than one minute to spare!

a little rusty from the vacation, but done

I was so slow... Done.

Did anyone else find todays "hard" simpler than yesterdays "easy"?

Good afternoon

hi from Boston. got an hour before heading to work Hope to make progress on this.

Hi, hope you have more luck than I, I am SO stuck

thanks, sprite. Got about 5 numbers, searching... searching... u?

Slowly going nowhere. I have the upper row, that's about it.

In total 16 numbers filled in.

great! I've got the lowest row, except for 2 numbers, but I don't want to guess.

Same here, 2 missing in the bottom row.

3rd and 4th spots?

Exactly

:)

Done, finally!

congratulations!

Did you have to guess any numbers along the way?

Babble time :) Good luck to you.

Yeah, I guessed once.

then saved and prayed?

Nah, I thought ahead and found that one place wouldn't have any possibilities left, so then I knew it had to be the other one.

good show! Sometime I'll look at babble. Take care.

Gee. is today's "HARD" more difficult than yesterday's "EASY"?

UD - dunno...I'm just starting : )

well, good luck then

and to you : )

ty

I would say it is harder than yesterdays, whichI managed to complete fairly quickly but today i am struggling

I think my brain was misfiring yesterday! I had to restart twice.

not too bad when you get into the swing of things, once I completed the top right hand box everything fell into place. Later taters

Im a beginner and im struggling!! Any tips?

tarnya - if you click on the box, then use your 'shift' key + left mouse button before selecting the number, it will give you the option to insert small 'green' numbers for possibilities...

(other tips are listed in the 'help' function too...

thanks

hi all

hi peternl...
Good luck tarnya!! : )

(gotta get back to work now...)

have fun

good luck ... pfff.. not an easy one :-)

Whee, did it! Didn't have to guess either... I think I'm improving on the hard ones. =)

It would have been much easier if I didn't do a stupid mistake the first attempt!

hi all

Hullo

hi

Hey everyone!

maybe i haven't gotten to the point where this gets hard but so far its pretty simple

famous last words right?

yup

Ha

Nailed that Puppy!

Rank me, baby!

hi everyone! wow it's been a long time since i did one of these. two weeks at least!

done, finally ;0

And I... I screwed up

ooo, a hard one today =)

go

and done

uh, yeah, over 1/2 an hour yesterday on the 'easy' one & 6 minutes on this one - is it just me?

yesterday's easy was a very hard easy and todays hard was a very easy hard

good, glad you think so too!

i'm trying to get thru the archives march 22nd haunts me

(hk not going to look at the grey writing in the upper right anymore - too confusing)

hrmmm...todays just isnt clicking for me!

makes sense.. whatever calculates it is off

good luck jojo, i haven't decided whether or not i want to do that yet - i've heard people say from time to time there were a couple stumpers in there

evan - just think of it as an "easy" one - don't let the simple word 'hard' get you all rankled

yeah, im not....
just not seeing a place to go from where i am...seems like i HAVE to guess, even though i know im not supposed to have to!

good luck everyone - have a great day -must go wash 3 dogs now :)

thanks i'll try again today.... helen, i usually try to do no greens on easy and will start doing greens immediately on hard

evandine, i think i had alot of luck looking for pairs

lol, jojo, may want to try that the other way around, lol

totally

bye now :)

I am so stuck !

this isn't working this evening. i'm going to see what babble is like today!

Whew! Took longer than I expected. Glad that is done.

I am still stuck, I jst started though so I'm sure it will get better. I hope. lol

never give up! never surrender!

haha, thanks

This is way hard!

think I have to guess on a lot in order to win =[

no, you do not need to guess.

you only THINK you need to guess.

Are we playing the same one?

yes.

How do I get it on an easier level?

how many nmbers do yyu have?

you wait for another day, or go to another website. there's just one a day here. you might try www.websudoku.com

I only have 2 for sure numbers. lol

so far i have placed 6 numbers

K. Thanjs. I will try to do this one though untill I am commpletely stumped! haha

thats good!

but always remember hurshy's #1 Rule Of Sudoku...

Well if you have 6 numbers then I must not be looking hard enough

lol

sudoku must only be done on a clear head.

how do I clear my head?

you eat right and get a good night's sleep.

you don't do sudoku when you are tired or disaster results.

I take iot you play this ALOT! I have only started to play a few days ago

i started just under 3 months ago

thats cool

okay so I am looking really hard and I cant find another number? Did you guess on any of them and just go from there or is there actually more numbers that you DONT have to guess on??

no guessing.

i have placed 3 4's, a 1, a 2, and a 6

I have placed a 2 and a 4

lol

you can mark possibles if you like, it helps when you're starting out, i try to do them without it now though

k. thanks

do you know how to mark them? shift-click

ohh, okay

I still havent gotten any more numbers, what about you?

nope but then i'm not marking. if you mark up all the boxes with the possibles you will probably find it easier.

Oh, well it doesnt matter now cause I am leaving in a few minutes =[

oh, sorry to hear that.

I made a stupid mistake rather early in my first try

I marked possibilities on the second try

i am still determined not to mark but i need to clean up and make dinner and then come back to it

Nice to see you again, briefly, hurshy

:)

how's this one? i only have about 20 minutes before I have to start work..

not too tough so far...

that didn't seem hard

well, at least it was fine until i just screwed up royally

oh bummer!

le sigh

Are you sure you want to start over?

WARNING: THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE

wow, I just found a... what would you call it - a naked quint?

heh, didn't run into one of those

it's like a 5-leaf clover!

I like that!

there we go, went smoother that time

good evening

done! one minute late - gotta run - later!

i cant finish it!

finished.good bye

hello! this is my first time playing sudoku. just wondering.. do you ever have to guess to finish these? or is there always "proof" of why a number should go in a certain spot?

i think there is always a strategy you could use ... but i've had to guess a few time on 'Expert' level sudoku.

hmm, okay. thanks! i've placed six so far.. i think i'm going to be here for awhile! ;)
