Hello all!

Morning all

Hi Sprite,
This looks like a tough one.

Hi Penguin, yeah, so far so good, but the venom will be in the tail, as usual :)

hey everyone

Hi raggedyandy

Hi Andy,
Um, Sprite, I find the "tail" usually goes fast. I have trouble starting ... once started, I eventually hit a point where it goes fast.

the question is is there going to be a tough part on this one?

I usually start off pretty fast, then reach a dead point, and if I am not lucky, I have to start over. :)

Not so far, andy, I agree.

its sort of hard to do when Gladiator is on TV

I can babble and do lots of other things at the same time, but for the sudoku I need to concentrate.

exactly, but i refuse to concentrate

lol!

At least I was able to use Krys10's nice unique triangles trick :)

?

Errr... rectangles, of course.

did all the writing turn blue in everyone else's chat box things?

haha

that would be a negative colleen

Did you mark it with the mouse, colleen?

no

Then you're on your own, text here is black as always.

all of the writing including the clear and cancel buttons in the game are blue and bold now

crazy!

Hi Colleen,
That's a new one on me.

i feel special then

you probably just accidentally hilighted those those (like as if you were trying to copy / paste)

Sounds like a real bug. If you want to feel less special, you could try logging out and on, or refreshing or restarting your browser.

no it's not that at all, that makes the background blue and the letters white.

and that would probably fix it sprite, but i'm enjoying the fun blue

Hehe, I figured as much. Enjoy while it lasts ;)

thank you

As I thought, after a slow start it falls together. Done.

Good job :)
I am following my own pattern: quick start, dead wall.

I have about 3/4 filled in, that is the bad news. Could be a start over today.

Well, Sprite, I hope you find a way over that wall soon.

For me, it is time for bed. Grades are due tomorrow afternoon and I have one class to finish grading. Good night and good luck!

Have fun working and sleep well :)

night penguiin

still not concentrating

on purpose? :)

somewhat, Gladiator is on TV

but just finished, off to concentrate on Gladiator, lol

Congrats, and have a good night :)

Why is the text in blue today? is it a sign of the day to come??

gl, u2

I saw Colleen mentioned that earlier, but my text is just fine. Not sure what's up on your screen.

yeah

it's hecka blue

cooleen - why us??

i guess because we're just that cool

Actually - chatterbox is black

I know why I'm marked because I haven't upgraded yet

done... not so bad...

I'm still trying to figure out how the difficulty levels are determined. They seem so arbitrary. I've had "easy" puzzles take me three times as long as this one.

it really wasn't that difficult, but somehow i couldn't manage it the first 2 times!!

One Hidden Pair required for me, then it tumbled.

morning

ow. this is hard.

lol, prette easy for hard. done ;)

hi all

hi peternl

hello

hey

how is you

good

asl

me 28 female varitey melbourne person

well, that one went fairly quickly!
much better than yesterdays!

hi everyone

pretty easy for a "hard: yay

I found this one a bit trickier than yesterday's, but didn't need any guesses. Great stuff. =)

gave up trying to sleep. its 1am here. Hello

sudoku works best when its late

yep so do cryptic crosswords

this one is really hard..

err getting there. Give me any 30min

finally got it

ar crap the damn net went down n i forgot to save. Think i might go to bed now n be a piker.

oodnight n have fun

yay i finally got my ranking up to pro!

grats!

what was so hard about this one? It was way easier than yesterday's. I just don't get these rankings...

I'm having a harder time with today's than yesterdays.

me too, parsec

hokay, found a matched pair that helped out a bit...that's probably the problem. I bet btwrt and I are pair people, and Darleen is something else. =)

i'm not even sure WHAT i am, parsec ;) but thank u, i'll join your club :D

... but if you were talking about the 4/3 pair, i'm moving right along now ...

done :}

Why can't we enter pencil marks?

You should try out the Sudoku at the Times online. It's free, and it's got pencil marks. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/games

for pencil marks hold shift when you click a number...hold alt for red pencil marks

Sorry... I didn't RTFM... :-(

umm...whats RTFM?

RTFM... Read the Freaking Manual... :-)

oh...haha :-)

first to see if i'm me

then to play

doesn't reading the message at the top tell you that? I get "You are logged in as: skizzybiz"

sometimes it says i'm logged in but it's timed me out

weird

and then if i type here it says System instead of hurshy

so before doing any work i have to make sure i'm me so it will count

right, i hear you. i'd just never run into that before

maybe it's a firefox thing

hmmm

howdy kids

hay all

this one wasn't too bad for me - found another unique rectangle (my new favorite sudoku trick) in the upper left hand corner

unique rectangle??

finished. wasn't too hard. good luck & good bye

Krys10- what's a unique rectangle? anywhere i can read about it?

hi everyone!!

or no one, if that's the case.

go

to

ti

done

is it 5 yet? please?

it's 7 where i am, skizzybiz, does that help?

it's almost 2am here

fraid not

unless you can send me about... 6 of your minutes

i'll try, tell me if you get them

hey, thanks!

no problem, anytime
