Sudoku Puzzles

That's my photo taken when I was up at Wickham with my two daughters and their families at Christmas time.

Anne, cool tree. love the droop effect over sunset. never been to your natural bridge but it is high on my list. would enjoy seeing your photos of it.

Good Mornin All!!!!

9:46....I made one mistake on possibilities that slowed me down....always seems to happen on the tough. STILL snowing and really need to see some spring.

Enjoyed this puzzle--it just flowed. And speaking of that, I'd better go out and pick up my garbage cans before they blow down the street. Getting gusty out there! Have a joyful day/night, everyone.

Anne, what a beautiful picture. The trees have no leaves. Is this not your summertime?

Wonderful picture of sunset 'ANNE' for the second time today .We are too lucky to meet you twice .

May we meet you again today for the third one ANNE.We hope.

Another inspired photo. Great one.

11:56; pretty pic Anne.

Took me an hour today.

It seems that the style of puzzles has changed!

Two puzzles in a row with no Unique Possibilities.
Two puzzles in a row in which no cells solve without a chain.

I am not sure if it is a trend or not. It certainly makes the tough puzzles truly tough, though.

Debby, trees in Aust aren't usually deciduous.This looks like many of the dead ones up there.

1) Start 23, Unique Possibilities to (UP) 23.
2) Locked 6s at b12 forbid b789=6.
3) Locked 3s at a789 forbid b789=3, c7=3.
4) Naked triplet d2=45, e2=245, f2=25 forbids d1=4, e1=4, e3=245, b2=24, h2=45, i2=45.
5) Hidden triplet 248 at e246 forbids e2=5, e4=15679, e6=15679.
6) Locked More...

Good afternoon to all! Another beautiful picture Anne.

Steve: Very tough. I gave up as I've had a long day at the office. Clicked on 'show solution' to see the picture. Will try this one again when I'm not so tired.

Anne, it's nice to see that your beautiful photos are starting to get some recognition. There have been quite a few lately. Well done.

Slow going today but after finding a couple of hidden triples and pairs, the 7 at i3 revealed itself and then when the 3 at c6 bobbed up it all fell into place. About i hour today.
