Never mind, I'll just nibble my way through it.

Is there a code for this one, Ruud? I always eat the ears first, by the time I get to the butt, it doesn't look like a butt anymore.

Call me a dummy, Ed but how do you get this into Sudocue?

Hey, why not write some poetry while you're over there?

Ruud - that's what I thought - but someone else I know rates them and I just wondered if I could too. No worries, not knowing is half the fun! Here's my move to eliminate the 69 in N3. I wasn't going to show off but since Para did :D I'm going to - don't I just have to be like everyone else!! Strong...

V nice move Ruud - I'm finding the ALS really hard to find - apart from little XYwing ones. Are there any clues for spotting them?

PS: 3.1.07 XT = B (finally did it with UR). Any thoughts on how I can rate these?

PPS: I like my new shade of indigo!!

2.1.07 = C

dum de dum dum de dum

... in the meantime ... I'll rate them myself

X-Treme Advanced

A = 'Aven't got a clue!
B = By golly that took ages!
C = Could it be I'm improving?
D = Doddle

1.1.07 = D

Thanks Ruud. Can you tell me how to get the rating on these puzzles. If I put them into SudoCue and click analyzer they all say easy :? I know that's not right!! My screen doesn't seem to show a rating in the bottom RH corner as it supposedly should. Funny that our New Year is already in and you guy...

I’ve just looked at the solution to see where I went wrong on Dec 29 XT. This is what I did - Type 3 UR -78- -> r5c4 cannot be 5 leaving 8. *--------------------------------------------------------------------* | 678 389 469 | 2 1 5 | 4679 389 4678 | | 128 238 159 | 6 4 7 | 19 158 38 | | 1567 47 146...

Very nice moves. Looks so easy when someone shows you how. Thanks!

It has been fairly torrid getting to this point - I have used uniqueness and a lot of contradiction chains - *--------------------------------------------------* | 2 14 134 | 7 9 5 | 8 34 6 | | 7 8 34 | 6 34 1 | 9 5 2 | | 9 5 6 | 38 2 48 | 34 7 1 | |----------------+----------------+----------------...

Just for the record I am actually having a little bit of trouble with X-Treme Dec 23 - but I'm sure I would be able to solve it if it wasn't Christmas and I had more time. :D I'll have another go when all the eating and drinking is over. In the meantime thanks Ruud for lots of fun on your forum. Hap...

Strong links on 3s -> r4c1<>3

then

ALS(A=[r46c1], B=[r26c3], X=3, Z=5 -> [r3c1]<>5

Ed, would you like the XY chain or the ALS

(9=3)-r6c8-(3=7)-r8c8-(7=1)-r2c2-(1=5)-r2c3-(5=9)-r3c1 -> r6c1<>9

ALS(A=[r68c8], , X=7, Z=9) -> [r6c1]<>9

PS: Mother of All Moans?

Yes there is Ed - and if we’d read the Solving Guide properly we’d have known it before :D - ALS logic is the same as XY / XYZ wing but the multivalue ones are still really hard to spot. Also you’re right, it was the 17th that was tough - the 18th was a doddle ... as were the 19th, 20th, 21st… perha...
