Hello everyone!

mornin'

Hi DMB (or should I spell it out?)

no need ... I answer to just about anything

I'm curious, Darleen, why do you have a male torso for an avatar?

eye candy

:-)

Over on babble we went through quite a spell of drooling. Old habit.

and I'm too lazy to change it

Okay. It's just that I am getting confused. I see the avatar and think boy and the female symbol and think girl and at this time of night in Wisconsin it is too easy to confuse me.
That's okay, though. Confusion is a normal state for me. 8-)

yeah, I really should go to bed. It's late here in Wyoming too

Ah, but then you lose the "challenge" of being one of the early folks to solve it.

right. That works. ;-)

Todays hard was easier than yesterdays medium

it's shaping up that way

Hi Lamb,
I, too, am making good progress. I can't put it in past tense yet. 8-)

Time for bed, good luck all

thanks! sleep well

Thanks Lamb. Nice speed!

howdy howdy howdy

my fastest yet, too! : )

oh man that was too easy! off to beddy bye. have fun all!

kind of too easy...

oh, wow

done

definitely a bit too easy once you found the pattern it just flowed right along without much of a hiccup

yup

I just finished ... in record time for me. Usually it takes me 25 - 30 minutes (even for easy and medium puzzles). Tonight took 17 minutes. Wow!

took me 5, with help from the javascript macro - that thing really helps.

Hi Moedog,
Well, I prefer to do it all myself. I have seen the script and prefer to slog along without having all the green filled right off. (Foolish, slow penguin).

it don't make you bad, penguin :)

hey everyone

sometimes figuring out which of the green numbers can be eliminated can add to the confusion - er, i mean, challenge

hi, andy

No, not bad ... just slow.

Right now it is time for bed. My kids all graduated today and I attended one graduation party afterwards. This makes for one tired bird.

Good night!

night!

wow, 11 min

no green, gnight all

Done - one of the more simpler hards I've seen on here

wow, that one was easy. i did it in like 20-30 minutes, and this is only my 4th time playing sudoku. cool. :)

morning

morning

That's one of the easiest I've ever done! Quicker than most of the 'easy' puzzles...

hi kukana

DONE...and I agree, a very easy 'hard'!

This is indeed turning out quite easy so far...

It IS easy MaW.... not sure why it's clased as hard!

I'm doing an archived Easy right now that I'm findihng harder!!

all the 1s, 2s and 4s have just gone straight in

this is extremely odd!

not that I'm complaining, I only just did yesterday's so something a bit easier is welcome

I'd love to know how they rank them!

I always assume sudoku ranking is done by a program that solves a puzzle and then looks at what techniques it had to use, assuming it's a solver based on human-style reasoning rather than the more efficient purely computer-think ones

I could of course be wrong :-)

LOL.... computers compute oddly at tims!

mind you, so do brains!!!

Well it's more that they don't think like people... computers are absolutely logical

I'm finding last weds Easy harder than todays hard :-(

lol oh dear

but this is an incredibly easy hard!

and done

wd :-)

maybe the difficulty is calculated by the number of given entries.

hmm, no.

next theory: maybe it's HARD to believe that this sudoku is so easy ...

anyway: done & bye bye

easy job

hi all

that was much easier than the medium the other day hmmm there is no telling what you are going to get with this puzzles

definitely

that was definitely the easiest Hard ive ever done!

Morning from New England. I'm making progress on this one!

wow, three-quarters done! What a pleasure not to be stuck forever.

WTG eyeman

if that's welcome to the game, thanks, moozey

Way To Go

you are doing well

:) thanx - now gotta find another number

hey moosey.... hot enoug????

eyeman... it means way to go... but I like your version too :-)

eyeman... it means way to go... but I like your version too :-)

good day all

hi yul

:) hot day

very!!!!!

yes very hot in the big bad city

there is a river boat ride i want to go to. called thames explorer. on a speed boat!

hey moosey!!

you in London too Yul?

yes, by the London bridge

very nice!

moosey and I are within spitting distance of each other almost!

i love it here

where abouts?

greater London... borough of Sutton

is it green?

I'm by the OXO tower yul, are you going to the babble convention this Friday?

yes... ish

what Babble convention is this Mozey?

sorry the woman next to me in the office has probs and keeps yackign but I'm back now :o)

no, i am goin to sonar fest in barcelona and staying there for some time

Babbler and some of the others are meeting this Friday near Marble Arch, I think some Americans are coming over too, so it should be cool. I'm hopefully going

oh wow, that sounds cool!!!!

are the details posted anywhere?

that is a shame yul, bet you'll have a fantastic time in Barcelona it is supposed to be a wonderful City

yes under Babblers profile hang on I'll just get them for you

ty

FRI 16th JUNE, London, UK.
Venue: The Tyburn, 18-20, Edgware Road, London, W2 2EN
Time: 3/4.00pm onwards
Location: Near Marble Arch station, Central Line tube

Let me know if you're interested! Contact me at :
babble_convention at yahoo dot co dot uk
(change it to the usual format)

i love BCN, it's like another home town to me

I guess the tyburn is a pub

I can't go... would hve to bring kids even just to say hi!!!

I believe so.

oh well, maybe next time!

i would love to go to Barcelona, I have heard so many god things about it

it would be good if you could attend the next one, I'll keep you posted

ty :-)

you absolutely must visit, moozey! buy easyjet ticks in advance (around £30return), get a flat throug the net (i have 1 to rent on barcelonavisit.com and we could give you a discount, if you ask :) the best time is any time apart from jan, feb & august

ohhh that sounds good Yul... how big is the flat?

oh that sounds fantastic yul I might just do that

it could sleep 4, but it's most comfortable for 2 people cos it is a studio vith 2 separate areas

now wonder it is home from home

just looked online.... looks nice

just me and 3 little kids :-)

it's in a dead center of bcn

it looks goregous yul

there is a balcony, but you can have the shatters closed to protect kids, ginger

I keep a very close eye on them anyway....

is it easy to move around without hiring a car?

the house is on a very narrow street, so the parking is not infront of the house. How easy it is to move with a car i don't know. We don't drive :)

nooo that's what I meant ... I won't be driving either!!!

there are some cars and noisy scooters passing through. It is not a quaet street

quiet :) not

still looks lovely ;o) and there is availability late August hmmmmm so if my Oz trip doesn't pan out it might be something to think about

august there is hot and quiet. locals having holidays so many places are closed.

but i would go at any time ;)

how close is the beach not that I am a beach person but it is always useful to know?

and is it a bedroom and sitting room or are they two seperate rooms?

you could reach the coast line in 15min walking but the beach is 10 min by buss or underground

they separated by the curtain but they were 2 rooms originally

public transport is so chip! you could share you 10 jorney pass with a friend and it's walid for everything! and if you have to take 2 busses in 1 hour it is a single jorney!

cheap :)

but it's possible to walk everyvere without much troble

cool cool cool

:)

it all sounds very tempting Yul!

finished puzzle. have to run. Good luck & good bye

Guys, if you want too book flat on barcelonavisit, just mention yul recommended you, if you want a discount :)

:-)

many thanks might just do that

Hey all

Hey everyone

Never been to Europe

Like to visit

PLEASE

i swear i have tried some of these before with no luck...but today, im breezing right through them!
hehe

that was a pretty easy one toda

*groan* another hard...

I think the term "Hard" for this is being used loosely.

good

mmmm....mom has cinnamon rolls!...bbl :-)

share???

of course!!! ummm...here's your...virtual...cinnamon roll. :)

mmmmmmmmmmm thanks

That's not right

anytime.

whats not right?

I didn't taste a darn thing!

Ha

Nailed that Puppy!

I did the hard quickly and have done another 4 since then!

Rank me, baby!

grrr...consistency

congrats Ginger!

I thought you would appreciate consistency

ok fine

I have never changed my icon

yay consistency

I still live where I my profile says I do.

Easy puzzle today

well woulodnt you change it if you moved?

Good for my fragile ego

no

Still love Scribble

Still love GingerUK

Etc

ok consistency is good.

gee thanx Limer... love you too

yeah we love you limer!! :'-)

GingerUK, I see you have finished all of the puzzles

Thanks, Scribble and GingerUK

yeah.... I am working on the archive from before I joined now

doing March 17th as we speak

caffeinatedelf, where are YOU???

March 28th, did you do that one yet?

yes, that was my birthday :)

Good, that one was VERY hard for me and Happy Birthday, Youngin'

Where's caffeinatedelf?

I'm older than you!

GingerUK, I did not think you would take too kindly to me calling you an old pooter. I was trying to be polite.

Yes, you are SLIGHTLY older than me.

LOL thank you kind sir!

And probably much wiser.

Does anyone out there have a handheld, such as a palm or pocket PC

And where is caffeinatedelf???????

I have to go graze like a hefer

enjoy!

c-ya

:)

I have Limer

I have a pocket pc/pda

Im really stuck on this one

do you do sudoku on it?

Hang in there chrissie2006

I would like to!

I found a free sudoku program for palm and pc.

I've asked Dr_God to do a pda version of Babble and sudoku before

I have a Palm Zire 72 and found a palm sudoku program for free.

but it will not run on pocket pc.

It needs the palm OS.

Dr_God needs to get a move on. He's got 32 points in the rankings page.

My ears are burning.

LOL LOL

ooh have you got ringworm?

HURSHY!

LIMER!

How are you, friend of mine?

Hey hurshy :)

hey sprite, i'm fine limer, this one is so easy :)

Dr_God, your ears should not be burning. I have been very up front with my comments

No beating around the bush here!

Love the program, btw

Yeah, it seems pretty easy to me.

It seems to be doing well. Not as popular as Babble, but that was to be expected.

Babble, just not enough time in the day for me to get involved in that game.

I am finding it hard to do bopth some days

I come here first then Babble

I can't do both.

I am too stupdi.

let's see how well i can do both whilst on a grand european tour...

Hi Hurshy and Sprite

contemptable computers

What grand European tour....

Hey Ginger! Hurshy, I can make a print for you when we are gonna meet ;)

Anyone keeping up on the World Cup 2006

i'm going on a grand european tour (where i shall meet sprite!)

a print?

of the grids of babble and sudoku of course

I have been ...

I don't have enough time daily to do both as well... So I am happy with Sudoku which takes much shorter to finish

ohhh well i will have a laptop with wireless

it's just a matter of finding time

Even better! We'll play together, lol.

I hear ya, sandbox74

well that was very very easy

gotta go

lateer

sprite - i would LOVE to watch you babble... see HOW you keep up such a steady pace at the end!

Last piece of babble is monkeytyping short ones. I always end up with lots of missing 4s. AND of course my missing plurals, singulars, verb forms etc.

see i always have my monkeying done before the end and i end up with lots of weird 5's and 6's to find

i don't tend to have a lot of plural fish and stuff

That's my slow part, when I check the log for clues.
Got to go cooking, back later! (Must still do today's babble too, had to work today. Laters!)

ok, don't forget to email me to tell me when and where to meet you!

my monkey's on strike!

I have the best husband in the world. He says he will do the cooking tonight.
I will, hurshy, got to pick a place and all. When do you leave?

can I borrow him SPrite?

Hehe, stand in line :)

:-)

This was the easiest 'hard' I ever did, I think. I will never understand the ratings here. Well, on to babble :)

Hello

CONGRATULATIONS!

You have completed today's puzzle

3 points have been added to your Ranking

(A new puzzle will be available at 12:00 midnight CT)
