The games do seem to be getting a little harder. The 1's were the only numbers I could find that you can completely fill in. After the 1's, I filled mostly the right column of small squares and then the rest by numbers again.

Well done Vivien. How low can you go.

Hi Fizzbut, I'm getting tired, but don't you give up now!!! Keep up the good work!! I can't explain how I did this - a mishmash numbers here and there.

Maybe when FReDD comes on he'll be able to figure out a clearer order.

Thanks, guys, I feel very proud and touched by your comments, but I think you overestimate me. I'm not in your league at all, and even if I like to find paths and filling orders, this one was clearly too complex for me.

... Anyway, here's what I found for this one. This sorry excuse of a path is the best I found. I feel embarrassed to give it, but oh well :
As fizzbut already noted, only the 1s can be completely filled. So you have to resort to fill rows, or cols, or 3x3 squares in order to retrieve a filling path later.

I filled the 1s, then the 3rd row, 2nd row, then 3x3 middle right square, then the 7th col. After that, I could do : 3 7 6* 2 9 4 6 5 8
* incomplete

FReDD- don't underestimate yourself (or overestimate us). We knew you'd make what sense there is to make out of this one. Which to me makes it a good puzzle. But 1:07. I'm to compusive to stop there, I'd have to get it under 1:00. So either it's talent or I need counseling.

I just can't. In 217 games, I've NEVER, ever been able to solve a puzzle under 1:00. That's what I call the "minute wall". There's a relativistic thing going on that makes me slower as time passes on. Maybe if there was only one cell to fill...

Of course it's talent. Have you noticed that for me (and I think any of us except Vivien and 3-4 others) to rank above you, I have had to solve every friggin' puzzle on this site, whereas, if I'm not mistaken, you didn't played them all ?
