That's an Ostrich!!I'd never have believed it except it said it was one!

Maen. And there you have it. Ostrich--Big Birds little brother. He lives! Made two errors.

MaEn everybody!!!
13:01. Best time ever for a "tough". Actually it wasn't "tough" at all.

Good afternoon to all! Fairly easy puzzle today. I understand that ostrichs taste fowl.

I have wildlife envy!!!
Just a question: Do you really have much more exotic specimens in Ostrich country or is it just a case of "The grass is always greener..."????

See you all tomorrow!

At one stage, either g6=2 or c4,c6,g4,g6 are all 5 or 7, which could not be resolved. Hence g6=2.

Well, I'm getting the tough puzzles now, but I'm not doing it by think-it-out logic, but by picking the square with only two numbers in it (50-50%) that seem to have the most pivotal impact on the puzzle.

This one was very tough, but with some cheating I solved it. that was a lovely picture, I think that camel was smiling at us.

That's the first tough I've done without resorting to a 50/50 guess. Not so hard at all.

Basic techniques until 37 solved and then either the rectangle that chiefmsb mentions or an x-wing on candidate 2 in ai58 will unlock the whole puzzle.

Well, I think that it was not tough. However we are improving.Regards to all

YAY!!!

Kate from Sidney...That was a funny story about the trip around the world..I am sure it's funnier now then then ....Wish you many more fun days in Sudokuland!

9.45 Yes it is!

Bean. A unique rectangle is where you have four boxes an the corners of a rectangle such as a1, a6, d1, d6 where in three of the boxes have two candidates, for example 12 and the last box has three candidates, two of them being the same two in the other boxes, eg. 123. if the last box were not 3 More...
