Sudoku Puzzles

Looks like an good antidote for a hot day!
Nice photo, Sue!

5:40 Maen! I love that fountain! Easy tough today, and done by 7:21am (Pacific). Beat my record from yesterday! :)

That cinches it, Dan ... you're on your way to the Sudoku Hall of Fame! We can't touch you now!

Nice, Sue. I've never seen a fountain quite like that one.

Oh! Very pretty. I agree with you, Shiela! We are in for a "hot one" today!

1)Start at 23, basic techniques to UP=59

2)fc:(6)h1=(6-9)i1=(9)i89-(9=8)g8-(8=3)a8-(3=1)a7-(1=7)h7-(7=8)h2
=>h1<>8.UP=81

It may be easy for a hard - however my time is no where near Dan's.

Cheers, Dan--you're on fire! Lucky for that fountain to cool you off.
Have a great day/night, everyone.

Great picture, Sue...love the color of the steeple in the background. What fun comments, too!
Dan, you are a sudoku whiz kid.
...and it's warm enough here today that I'd like to cool off in that fountain like Sheila and Debby - let's go!

Given UP=23. UP at g7, g5, f1, h5 and b5. UP=28.
Pairs 45 at a12,hence UP at c1 etc. UP=59.
When 5 is in f8 or f9, i9=3. UP=81.

Leia was sure this was a rocket as it was coming in!

Wonderful, Sue. Thanks

yes..a less than 15 minutes puzzle for me..

You sure do get around Sue, Nice picture.

Cathy, Vici, my comeuppance will be along soon enough. If it's anything harder than an "easy tough", my times start going through the roof. I haven't quite mastered forcing chains and all that stuff yet... (see? I turned into a pumpkin)

not much to say

1)Start at 23, basic techniques to UP=59

2)ywing:(3=8)a8-(8=9)g8-(9=3)i9 => a9,i8<>3.UP=81

10:31 I was just today showing someone a favorite children's book called "Regarding the Fountain." It's about a 5th grade class at a school which has a leaky drinking fountain that needs fixing. It's part mystery, with much comedy and artistry rolled in. The story unfolds through More...

12:29 to you all from Beijing.

12.28 Almost a snap Jim!
Where in Germany is this Sue? Looks symbolic of the wall.
