Good Maen. 5:33. Not a great time but 1st?

Good photo Deb

6:58 relatively easy tough Maen

Hi Pat - gb called it 'X-wing style'

Good Maen to all. Agree it was an fairly easy Tough today. What are you doing out in that fog Deb?? Are you looking for ET's??

hey what a lighting!!the car literally popped out of the fog..good pic deb..and the puzzle was easy comparatively today..able to finish within 10 minutes..feels good!
cheers

Good Maen. Can't believe there are only 3 comments so far.

Great photo from the multi-talented Deb.

7:04 Slucky guesses at start, led to runs of 3's, then others.
Tough driving and photographic conditions Deb from Brisbane - well done! G'day all :)

Some lucky, that is, typing too fast for my keyboard to catch up!

is that a helicopter in the photo??

Hey, don't they know they're driving on the wrong side of the road!

Must have been easy - I was under 20 minutes! Good mAen everyone!

Tough enough puzzle for me! g'Maen. Now to wash the car and mow the grass.

Good mAen

Not too tough.

14:28... Good picture Deb!!

Well, it's 5am and I cant sleep so came to my favourite site and I see 'another' of my pics.. This was taken last month on the last day of my holidays. No helicopter (although I can see what you mean). It's a light on a wire..I think..who can tell in that fog lol

First time doing a tough...15:36

As stormy as the puzzle

We get fog like that in California sometimes. One year there was an 80 car pileup on the freeway because no one saw the cars stopped in front of them.

Good photo, Deb. One of these days I may try to post one of my own. This was a fairly easy tough puzzle, although I used possibilities as a help.

1) Start at 22 filled - the given puzzle. Unique Possibilities to 27 filled. (UP 27).
2) Locked 9's at de3 forbids gi3=9 UP 28
3a) Locked 5's at g45 forbids g128=5
3b) fc on 5's: b1 == b9 -- h9 == h3 forbids b3=5,i1=5
3c) a7=7 == e7=7 -- d8=7 == {pair 14 at d8, f8} -- g8=14 == g8=9 -- More...

step 3c above can also be represented well by a matrix:
a7=7 e7=7
0000 d8=7 d8=1 d8=4
0000 0000 f8=1 f8=4
0000 0000 g8=1 g8=4 g8=9
a7=9 0000 0000 0000 gi7=9
forbids a7=(not79), forbids 14 from all locations in row 8 except dfg8.

Reasoning:
Each row is a strong set - at More...

14.39 Cool pic, but fog is one driving condition I hate. It can be so surreal.
Deb it's good to know you're still out there. I don't read the posts every day, & don't even do the puzzles every day, but hadn't seen any of your posts recently. I think the last time was when your husband had just gotten home from the hospital. Hope he's on the mend. Missed your jokes.

Nice photo Deb, quite eerie.
Gene, fl keys - Didn't the American's adopt driving on the right a la the French because they didn't wanted to follow the British with driving on the left? Something to do with some war for independance I believe.

So is right right and left wrong or left right and right wrong?

13:47 with a couple of guesses. I'm not up to thinking too hard at the moment.. have other things on my mind.
Fortunately whenever we've been in Toowoomba the fog has lifted by the time we get there.. it's about 150km from here. We often 'duck over' on a Saturday to shop for clothes or whatever.

great photo

That sudoku was too strong for me,I couldn't understand the bucket in the photo, I beg if there was another solution for that.
