I like to solve the puzzles a second time a while later after I forgot how it was done. This time I did a stupid mistake (I put in a 6 to be smaller than 4...), and didn't see it. Weird thing was: I ended up in a situation whithout logical continuation (ok, removing the mistake would have been one). Usually you run into contradictions... but this time it was different, because I kept looking for how to continue, not for a former mistake.

I have met with the same problem, JoergWausW, usually when I have been stuck and I've tried one of two digits in a cell containing just two. So I then try the other possibility which works more often than not. But I prefer it when you find you have run into a contradiction as you say. On the other hand I may have just missed the next logical step:)

Key
A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
