Sudoku Puzzles

Now that's an interesting photo! Looks like a fossil squid (though the soft tissue involved would make that next to impossible).

11:23 Maen! Kate, I was thinking the same thing -- either a squid or a jellyfish! :)

Nothing hurts more than strolling the soft sands of a South Pacific beach and stubbing your toe on the lava or coral concealed beneath the surface!

Have a wonderful day/night, everyone!

Uh, anyone else see a cow patty??

15:50 to you all.

It DOES seem as if it were alive, doesn't it?

Maen all. Wow did I mess that one up. Cool pic though.

What possessed me into thinking that picture would be a fun jigsaw? And um, no, Dan, no cow patty, but thanks for putting the vision in my head.

Soft tissue is possible to fossilize if the right conditions are met. I don't what they are but I have read something somewhere about that. Somebody smart enlighten us. Good mAen!

Sue, you have an eye for the unusual - and the ability to take a good photo of it! Pity (or not) that it didn't appear as a Hard Jigsaw. Great photo. Was it taken with mischief in mind?

I agree! Looks like a hard jigsaw!
It lends itself to many descriptions, doesn't it!
I vote for cow patty.

Great photo, thanks Sue. Ian you can do it as a hard puzzle if you want to! I had the same thought as you HalT!

again, Kate.

16:10 - it looks like it's been laid by a prehistoric cow and petrified. Great minds think alike HalT and Kate!

I vote for cow patty as well. I see enough of them every day.

Or maybe I'm just seeing cow pies everywhere.

Cathy,

Fossilize isn't the same as petrified. Soft tissue can be preserved frozen (arctic mammoths etc.), encased in amber (esp. insects, but also blood and soft tissue) or dessication (natural mummies like dinosaur bones found with flexible tissue still inside the bone). When soft tissue is replaced or saturated with stone, it's petrified. maEn

A quickie. Under 20 mts.!

Cow patty came first to my mind...... and yes I much prefer that to the idea to soft tissues....either way not putting my feet near it!

13.27 I thought it was a fossilised cow pat!
Apparently we thought the same thing Hal and others...not sure if I am ok with this!
WOW Plum, you know stuff.

ah ha!! under 10 minutes....yo Gail, hows things??
cheers

All good thanks appy.
How about with you?

A path:

1) Start at 22, basic techniques to UP=56
2) fc: (3)f2=(3)a2-(3=6)a6-(6)e6=(6)e3,=>f2<>6
3) fc: (6)a2=(6)i2-(6=8)i7-(8)i1=(8-5)g1=(5)g2-(5=3)f2
==>a2<>3, UP=81
