Disco Lando is playing Elite: Dangerous on his VR headset and wondering how long he can get away with pretending that's important research.

Ryan Archer sits in a corner, changing every tenth word in The Great Gatsby prior to sending it to a publisher under his own name. Programmers sit at their desks, sending to CVs to any company that has never heard of CIG. A couple of them dangle from the ceiling by nooses, smiles on their faces. An occasional pistol shot is heard as an artist has their previously accepted work sent back for the twentieth time. Amid all this, still trapped in his seat from the last video recording, Ben Lesnick squints at a pile of old Wing Commander boxes, counting the discs within largely by touch, sometimes tentatively biting one to check whether it's a disc or just another of the novelty cookies his wife makes in a desperate attempt to get him to look at her the way he looks at Chris Roberts.

I hate these guys so much.

imp zone poster: man this puzzle is hard lol.

games poster: In my article "How To Play Sudoku", I touched upon the Sudoku strategy to look for a cell in every row, column, and region that can be solved by looking for the only possible choice.

In the example above, the cell circled in red can be solved quickly by looking for the missing number. Count from one to nine. You will notice the "8" is missing. That is the answer, so fill the cell in with an "8".

Sudoku Strategy One Choice Region

At the right we have another example where all the cells are filled in a region, except for the cell circled in red. Again, count from one to nine. What number is missing? The "7" is. Any child can solve for the missing cell when they know the Sudoku rules.

Sudoku Strategy One Choice Using Logic At the left we have a third example of a cell that can be solved using the one and only choice Sudoku strategy. This example is different. Can you find the only choice that will satisfy the cell circled in red?

At first glance you might think that there aren't enough cells filled in to solve it. After all, every row, column, and region has several empty cells.

To solve the cell circled in red, say to yourself, "What number can or can not go here?". Let's try it.

Well a "1" can not go there because cell R5C1 of the same row has a "1" in it.

Well a "2" can not go there because cell R1C5 of the same column has a "2" in it.

Well a "3" can not go there because cell R5C9 of the same row has a "3" in it.

Well a "4" can not go there because cell R5C4 of the same region has a "4" in it.

Well a "5" can not go there because cell R2C5 of the same column has a "5" in it.

Well a "6" might go there since there isn't any "6" in the same row, column, or region. Pencil it in. Continue checking.

Well a "7" can not go there because cell R9C5 of the same column has a "7" in it.

Well an "8" can not go there because cell R5C7 of the same row has an "8" in it.

Well a "9" can not go there because cell R4C6 of the same region has a "9" in it.

Well, sure enough! The cell circled in red (R5C5) has to be a "6" since there isn't any other choice. You solved it!

You will be able to use this simple Sudoku strategy in every Sudoku puzzle, if not at first, then eventually. Some easy Sudoku puzzles may be solved using only this one technique. Usually however, you will need to add a few more strategies.
Sudoku Strategy - Scanning
Susoku Strategy Scanning 2 Numbers

I touched upon the Sudoku strategy called scanning in my article "How To Play Sudoku". You will use this technique to help you solve every Sudoku puzzle from easy to fiendish.

In the example at the right, we have two 8s. If you scan each column that has an 8 as depicted by the two red arrows, you will find three cells where it is possible that an 8 could be placed. They are circled in red.

We know that an 8 can not go into either the top three cells of the middle column, or the bottom three cells because there is an 8 in both the top and bottom region.

Still we do not have enough information to place an eight in any of the three circled cells.

Sudoku strategy scanning 4 givens Now if we already have two of the three cells solved as shown in the graphic at the left, it is easy to solve for the center cell circled in red.

There is only one possible solution. The circled cell must be an 8. Write it in.

When you scan, it is helpful to be systematic in your approach to the puzzle. Scan for all numbers in sequence from 1 to 9 in all directions.

You now have two Sudoku strategies that you can use to solve Sudoku puzzles and games. However, not every puzzle can be solved using the one and only choice and the scanning method. You will eventually find a puzzle where you can not solve any more cells using these two methods. We need another Sudoku puzzle strategy.

The third Sudoku strategy you need is learning the art of candidate elimination.
Sudoku Strategy - Candidate Elimination

In order to effectively use the candidate elimination strategies, you will need to find all of the possible candidates for each blank cell in your Sudoku puzzle.

If you have a computer program like Sudoku Dragon , then you can select an option for the program to show all possible candidates. Simple. This saves a lot of time.

If you are using paper and pencil, I suggest using my free blank grid with candidates form. Use liquid paper for best results to remove candidates from consideration.

In my popular article titled "Can You Use Some Sudoku Tips", I address some common techniques to safely eliminate candidates in cells from further consideration. These include naked and hidden singles, naked and hidden pairs, naked and hidden triples, and naked and hidden quads.

As you may have found, these are not enough to solve every Sudoku Puzzle. So, I want to introduce another Sudoku trick, locked candidates.
Locked Candidates
Locked candidates in a row

Sometimes you will find that a candidate within a 3x3 region is restricted to one row or column. When this occurs you can safely remove that candidate from the remaining cell(s) in that row or column that is outside of the region.

In the example above, we have the situation in the right region as highlighted in red, where we have a row of three cells. The numbers 3, 7, and 9 are restricted to the three cells in this region.

If you will notice, the number 7 also appears in the three cells circled in red.

Since, a 7 must be located in one of the three cells of the right region, it is safe to remove the 7 from each of the cells circled in red.

This example comes from my Hard 2 puzzle.

Locked candidates in a column

Another version of locked candidates occurs when you find a candidate within a 3x3 region that is restricted to one row or column. When this occurs you can safely remove that candidate from the remaining cell(s) in that row or column that is inside the region.

In the example at the right, we find that the right most column needs a 3. The only 3s are restricted to the top two vacant cells in the column.

Since we know that one of these two cells must contain a 3, then it is safe to remove any other 3s in that region. In this case, the 3 that is in the cell circled in red may be eliminated safely.

This example comes from hard 7 puzzle.

Yeah, also Chuck Yeager and The Wright Brothers both independently calculated that the drag coefficient of exposed labia is 23%/32°K, so that configuration would send both skydivers into an uncontrollable spin. However, the drag coefficient of an exposed scrotum is 69%/212°F, which cancels out, so a true nude skydiving couple is scientifically proven to be the most aerodynamic shape. It's so fast that Donald Trump's defense advisors have already started selecting the smoothest couples to be deployed as weapons in the war with Mexico.

SciFiDownBeat posted:

okay here's an actual legitimate innovation:

a friend-propagated ad network. basically you ask people on a social network to promote some product or service in exchange for reducing the amount of ads on their feed or timeline or whatever. so a user writes a review of a product and then those reviews substitute actual company-provided ads in the feeds/timelines of people in their social network. so gradually across the entire social media network, the company-created ads are reduced in place of ads created by users. in this way, not only do you tailor products and services to potential customers, but also the delivery, that is, how the item is sold.

so for example if I'm a millennial, I'm likely to see an ad for the AMC network that uses emoji's and hip-talk as cheesy or transparently manipulative. but if I see a friend make a post about one of their shows, I'm more likely to take the assessment seriously, because it's a third-party endorsement. the trick is to avoid the word "advertisement" in describing this process because otherwise it will turn people off. the very notion that someone is trying to sell something immediately throws up mental walls in people's minds. ideally this "sponsored" post by your friend would appear like any other item in your feed.

it probably wouldn't work in practice unless you convinced a whole bunch of people on the network to participate, to jump-start user engagement on a network-wide level. I just really hate the current implementation of internet ads and I want to see them die in a fire
