Sudoku Puzzles

This one seemed easy today. Easier for a tough than the hard was for a hard!

A parth to solve this one,
Start at 23.
1- Basic technique UP29 (note that : pairs 47 at h46, 15 at a1c3, 13 at b56)
From here a lot chains can find…
2- d6=7==h6=7 – h4=7==h4=4 – a4=4==a4=2 – e4=2==e4=3 –e6=3==e6=6 => d6<>6, UP33
3- b7=6==b7=7 – f7=7—f4=7 – f4=2==a4=2 – a2=2==a2=6 => a78<>6, UP81

Oops, maybe one chain after UP29 :
(2) b7=6==b7=7 – f7=7—f4=7 – h4=7==h4=4 – a4=4==a4=2 – a2=2==a2=6 => a78<>6, UP81

22:13 to you all. mb, I agree. It was more straightforward than yesterday's puzzle.

Hi, ttt. You must have just posted this. It took me just a bit to home in on the 7's.

Hi Jiminoregon,

A lot way with one chain after UP29 to finish this one, but I've not yet to find chain depth 4 to finish this - almost depth 5. Other :
c2=2==c2=7 - c8=7==d8=7 - f7=7==f4=7 -- h4=7==h4=4 - a4=4==a4=2 => c5<>, UP81
...

Is this the same Canna photo that was shown on 1/18 and 1/19? I tried to look back, but the photos were different, altho the comments about the beautiful flower remained. I even tried to check out the gallery, which was interesting. Two of my photos, which have never been shown with a puzzle, appear in the gallery.

Oh! Very pretty!

WOW Eve, good for you! I think I had to make 2-3 guesses! Oh well, back to work now.

Aimee :-)

The canna's been around a long time Cami. The swapping around of photos happened while the site was having stability problems!

8:58 mAen! One "supposition"...

I don't understand chains ...

Pretty flower, but a real pest to get rid of!

Cami, sure looks the same flower. Doesnt look like a canna to me. Looks like an iris. No matter. The sudoku was hard enough and had to abandon the paper method and finish it on the computer. I also had a guess or two. I love it when folk put down their proofs because I usually 'cheat' when I've given up.

Forgot to unpause! Seemed like a reasonable time though.
Definitely a canna, look at the leaves.

Jeff...I left you messages a few days back. See if they help, though I doubt it. Have a great day!
