Newbie question

After a few weeks of looking for a sudoku program or website, Simple Sudoku is by far the best thing I have found. I am getting fairly good at solving expert puzzles, but came across one tonight for which I needed a hint. When the hint was revealed, an "exclude by colors", I could not comprehend it. I saved the puzzle pre-hint. Is there any way for me to upload it so that someone might help me? Thanks.

Hi,

when you use Ctrl+C, you can copy the puzzle and the candidates in text format, which you can then paste in your post.

You might not realize it, but many people here have programs that can analyze these candidate grids, and prefer them to images, because otherwise they need to retype the puzzle state from your image into their program, which makes them less inclined to help you.

If you insist on posting an image, why don't you go to http://www.imageshack.us/ and read the instructions on the site.

I hope this will help you.

Ruud.
