A typical MI winter day - freezing rain, snow and sleet - YUCK

WOW..just methodical solving did it...a real morale booster...enjoyed doing it..

cheers

This building is a lot bigger than it looks in this photo! Have you seen pictures of Andre Agassi & Roger Federer playing tennis on a court on the 'little' white disc at the top right of this photo?!!!

Is that building which have a tennis court on its top?
Oh Kathy just says that .We had seen the picture of this court before .

Good maEn to all.

bizarre puzzle. no reductions, nothing hidden that I could see. couple of locked cans, 2 finned x-wings, a quick chain, an Empty Rectangle then the puzzle just fell apart. Building? Looks like a really big sailboat.

12:34 I didn't know about the tennis court. The interesting things that crop up on this site! Have a great day/night, everyone, and if you're traveling in 'storm country', stay safe.

interesting picture and comments. Makes me want to referance this place on www.googleearth.com and see how tall it really is.

7:28 Easiest tough so far.

13:29; The reflection makes it look like it is right at the waterfront, is it? Also, there seems to be nothing around it, must be lonely at the top!

What beautiful colors. Thank you Keyan.

SpadeScorpio your avatar suits you , gave me a giggle.

maeN! 25 minutes using the full possibility grid, so I'm not happy with that. A couple of UPs, work on locked 6s. A longish chain implying
that a7 can't be 1 (a7=1 => b1=1 => e1=2 => g1= .. => def7=349 => e9 can't be anything) then unravelled the whole puzzle. No way I could have More...

Not to mention that watching Zwinky 'undress' every couple of seconds was a bit distracting.
Time to hit the sack! Nighty night!

Plugged away for about 40 mins with not much solved then it all fell into place

A alternate proof for tough sudoku of 03 02 2007:

2) c9=2 *==*{e9=2 *==* d9=2 -- d9=5 == g9=5 -- g1=5 == g1=2} -- e1=2 == e1=1 -- b1=1 == b8=1 forbids b8=2 at depth 5 UP 81

Sets: 5 More...

Great picture! Good maeN.

Sorry everyone, it's another misnamed photo. Mindslip. It's actually the Burj al-Arab. The Burj Dubai, which is going to be the world's tallest, isn't yet complete. This thing is a luxury hotel.

One of the good ones in recent times in the 'tough' category. Enjoyed doing this.
