Hi Genevieve, welcome to the Sudoku site. I hope you spend many happy hours puzzling and make lots of friends.
Can you please tell me - where's Darrack?

to this great site and enjoy every visit.

I hope you enjoy this site. I googled Darak & came up with Darrack Markets in Auckland NZ. One of the things I really like about this site is meeting people from so many different & interesting places. Decorate your page & let us get to know you. Visit our pages by clicking on the blue 'check out my page'.

Have you found your page yet Genevieve?

I hope you enjoy your time here, there is plenty to do. Have you visited the More...

to Genevieve. It was great seeing you post on Easy. Feel free to jump in any time.

Hello Genevieve - Click on "check out my page" next to your name on the easy page. It will take you to your page. When you go to the top of any page on the right hand side, you will see "inbox." Those are your personal messages. Lots of Luck!

Oh! BTW - to Sudokuland! I am sure you will have many hours of enjoyment here. There is always something to do or someone to talke to. Be sure to check out the "Forum!"

Thank you I'm not sure what to do next but I will explore soon.

Genevieve, I am not the most computer literate person on the globe, but I will help you as much as I can.
To 'brighten' up your page, go to the link at the top right of any page that says 'Update Details,. There you will find a box marked 'HomePage Text' with lots of different icons that allow More...

Again, thank you, there is much to discover when time permits.

A belated , Genevieve! Glad you posted so I could welcome you!
Looks like you entered Sudokuland the day after I completed my 1.5 month volunteer job that I take on each year (office manager for a city festival). I usually crash for awhile afterwards! So....
to the wide wonderful world of Sudokuland!

Genevieve: I really don't have much to offer besides what can be found by googling a phrase like "Canada medical private illegal." That's what led to those articles from the Journal of the Canadaian Medical Association and the National Institutes of Health. As you know, we are in the More...

Gen: The "health care" system in the US right now is one of extremes. If you are affluent, you can buy any health care you want (unlike some places where private care is virtually non-existent or even illegal).

Some 60% of working people are covered (to varying degrees) More...

Gen:

Give me a day or two to respond thoughtfully. It is a very convoluted business (and I use that word literally) in the US.

More later.

Genevieve: I use the State Department and CIA books all the time, especially the "Area" books. I will check out the WHO site, although statistics (I assume it's mostly statistics) need narrative. Unless you are told that there's a war going on, you might, for example, make wrong assumptions about infant mortality's causes.

I seem to be having difficulty with the page insert. It disappears, no reason why. Not important right now I guess.

Perhaps I should leave comments on here instead until I get the hang of this.

Genevieve: I routinely delete all the comments which are made on my page. There should be a "delete" button in the bottom right corner of every comment here.

I don't know about the top of the page, though, or why yours changes.

Genevieve, I noticed a comment of yours that you have an interest in photography. If you are looking for ways to submit photos there is a lot of helpful advice under the heading 'Forum' at the top of the page.
Go to the section "Questions About This Site'
At the bottom of the page & More...

Thank you Ian, that is very kind of you.

I heard it many times in the 60s and 70s, done by the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem.

I don't understand the terminology of the tough page puzzle. Is this something that comes with practise?

Hello Genevieve, and a very belated welcome to your page on the site, I'd like to leave you my traditional page warming gift, a double chocolate fudge beavertail pastry from Canada. As to terminology being used on tough puzzles, check out the Forum section (link in the header of the page) and you can find some answers there. Cheers!

Hello Greg and thank you. What is a beavertail pastry?

Hi Gen! My goodness, I seem to have missed your move in. So, a very belated to you!
I saw your posts on the 'easy' page today and thought I would stop by for a visit. To answer someone on their page, just click on the blue "Check out my More...

Hi again Genevieve. A beavertail pastry is a fried dough pastry created originally in Canada that comes in a variety of flavors, the most common being brown sugar and cinnamon. This is a photo of the one I sent to you. As to birthdays, on your own More...

Genevieve: Are you aware of this?

"Genevieve is a 1908 Darrack(car)"

For more info, google that exact phrase, and do not correct the lack of a space between "Darrack" and "(car)".

I am at a loss. I have perused the site for a simple explanation of how to do the tough puzzle. I don't understand any of the techniques at all. Can I not do a simple working out?

Gen.

gen: Look at the boxes under "Indicate which comments..." If you only want to see recipes, uncheck everything else. If you don't want to see jokes, uncheck just that one. Of course, that is postulated on the premise that people will put their comments in the right category when they post...

Ian, thank you for your help.
Gen.

Hi Genevieve,
The 27th one was a boring slog.
A good introduction to techniques is on www.sudocue.net/guide.php. It doen't cover all the techniques for the very tough ones, but does quite a lot. You may also look on the sudoku.com.au blog page for the pages re Forbidding Chains (aka, Alternet Interference Chains) dated early 2007.
Best regards, Neil

Neil, I shall endeavour to read it at a later date. It still seems beyond my mortal brain, but thank you.
Gen.
