Elisabeth, I wonder why you chose easy and I chose hard yet our times weren't hugely diferent. I found it really hard to get started and eventually checked that I'd got the bottom left hand corner right before I could get any further.

Elisabeth, everything that Penelope has said also I sign it, word for word.

Elisabeth Daily subscriber Rated puzzle: Easy Completion time: 25:24
I don't know what I did, Penelope and carlotes, I just filled in all the black dots first which gave me the 579 in middle row of bottom left hand corner, then 468 (with 6 at top as 48 could not be adjacent) and 123. Then I messed around with the consecutives 234 which eventually started to fix something. The consecutives down the 6th column helped. I didn't particularly enjoy it as it was a question of filling in and eliminating, but I didn't get held up so declared it easy!
My timing is much slower now as I find it difficult to scan the rows and columns; I'm just glad I can still solve the puzzles:)

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'.
