Man this one was tough. Basically nothing except a few patterns to go off of. I cant remember ever having taken ten minutes for a daily puzzle. Did anyone see anything that you think others probably missed? Or was is this just a strategic guess type puzzle? |

this puzzle was evil - I made a guess - made some progress by doing some nasty nested guesses in my head (which I am not good at) and eventually just Assumed that I was right since I had made it half way. I think this is the first time where I have decided to assume and continue, with the justification that I had so little progress made before the assumption started that if I had to completely reset, it would only take a couple of seconds to get where I was upto beforehand.
Even then I had to make another guess to finish it off. |

It was a lot of guessing for me.
Edit: My solution (which I've removed) was flawed. Let me try to fix it.

Ouch that was tough. Just had to keep trying different fix positions till I got it  It's a sure way to get a bad score!

Hehe... as if I'd do that... 
Anyway, I found it very tricky too... but at least the 'wrong' wasn't too bad! |

Definitely a strategic guess puzzle.
This one, I got a good time on by just letting my subconscious do the hard work. It can often see the solution without relying on any logical patterns. Woman's intuition, if you will.  |

Indeed one of the toughest daily puzzles ever. How this rated as only "hard" I would like to understand.
On top, I had a network outage, and spent about 5 minutes fixing this after having finished the puzzle in about 7-8 minutes. Ouch. I guess there is no hope of convincing the Powers that Be to correct my score - especially since i don't know exactly how long I took. |

This Friday's puzzle is another good one for exercising your intuition.
