Tough Sudoku

I have decided to post another complete demonstration of how I solve a Tough Sudoku.

You can access this new blog page, Advanced Forbidding Chains , through the link in the upper right column under the heading 'Check out the Sudoku Blog'.

It is a hurried post, so please forgive the lack of polish.

Good mAen to everyone! I just had to post, since I got on so early. Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Another of my pictures (with comment) taken in the Orient Cave on 6th January 2007! Jenolan Caves are west of Sydney (along a very windy road). The Official website: http://www.jenolancaves.org.au/main.html and http://www.jenolancaves.org.au/information.asp?tb=j_caves for information about the individual show caves.

Good Morning Kathy! It is early! Now I'm going to bed! Good Night all! 20 past midnight here. MaeN all! Well it is both morning and night!

14:31 Maen Many guesses, many wrong guesses. Gotta read Steve's blog!

cool colors in that photo! AU is on my list to visit, i'll add this cave also! anything else i should be sure to see while going thru your great country?

The puzzle tackled in the new blog page is today's tough puzzle.

Hi Anne if you get up here.

6:21 Maen

Great picture, Kate, and no need to remind me about the windy road en route to Jenolan. As I've posted before, take plenty of Dramamine and go light on the breakfast. But yes, the caves are definitely worth the trip.

4:33; that was easy.

Cathy I think you asked yesterday if I was the same one from NC, yes I moved to GA about 6 months ago. I also have Ashley Violet (just Violet now) and have been absent. Anyway, I've been looking at the pictures when I can because is sent Violet's picture. She's now 2 so I can't get anything done. Napping right now.

beautiful pic, makes a challenging jigsaw.

Took a while to solve but I think I've now got the hang of the 'weak links' thanks to Steve's blog. Much obliged, Steve.

Puzzle came together without a problem. No exotic tricks needed. I'll check the post later, Steve.
Keep up the good work :)
Take good care of tomorrow for me.

13:48 I would love to see these caves one day

Hi Taz Boxers - It was I, Kathy with a K, who asked if you used to be from NC! How do you like GA? What city are you in? Bet Violet is getting cuter & cuter. Hope to see a picture of her soon!

mAen, y'all! 'Twas icy this a.m., but not too bad. Cold, rainy, miserable day.
Tazmanian Boxers, I was born 'n raised in Rutherfordton, N.C. Where did you live?

Wow! This must be beautiful in person. Nice picture. Thanks!

Lovely pic Kate, and beautifully commentated!!! Though you could have put 'Kate' in there!! For sheer grandeur, Jenolan Caves are right up there!!

Ahh...An easy one. Nothing fancy needed. Thanks, Steve. Confidence restored.

cheers

OOPS - forgot to restart the timer again!
