Is this one of those shadows made with your hand?

can't say yet Norma :)

It looks like one of those coo coo birds from the rain forest. Good one Tom.:)

I'm not sure you seen exactly what I did, but obviously you've seen something that works. my way was no more than one move ahead. I'm sure you can intuitively guess. you've been at this a while. no one sees everything, but you're no lout. you get things many never see. Hope I helped, Tom.

I appreciate your candor....but, you know....I think someone needs to qualify what exactly constitutes the next move ahead. we're on the same page. but I simply just see it, and you're counting. I really just see it, that is must be that way. not sure how you gather multiple more steps. how would it be written in a math equation? if the 5 is in r whatever, then blah blah blah. it's only one step for me. maybe I skip steps....

Kurt: No worries, my friend. It's only a puzzle, and we will sleep well tonight. Thanks for the dialogue. That was fun. Looking forward to golfing with you someday. I certainly am no expert in puzzles. If I pretended that I am, I apologize. I just couldn't solve it. Best regards, Tom

Golfing,where are you guys going golfing and can i join in the round? Maybe Norma can make it a foursome. Let's play skins.:)

One good idea, in case of a hurricane, is to stay at high elevations, one bad idea is to stay close to a body of water.

Found to be solvable with deep lookahead by jan.

okay Jan, a deep bird's eye view :D

These new instructions check out! (However, the two-way logic is so non-obvious that I'm guessing it must have been a back-formation from the way you actually found.)

So this is "moderate lookahead, but good luck finding it."

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.

:D thx Joe

funny enough, that is exactly how i found it with no reverse engineering. i just over-analyze everything.

kudos

This is way after everyone seems to have finished this one, but I got a multiple solutions message. Anyone know what's up?

If you look under the title above it says moderate lookahead. Which means you have to use more sophisticated solving techniques to solve it. There are blow by blow instructions in #21 and #24 above. Also Jan has written a how-to on this site explaining the more advanced techniques.

That is very odd, Joshua. Either you misinterpreted what was said, or the server sent you a wrong message. This still comes up as moderate lookahead (and so, necessarily, single solution), and there was no declaration by the webpbn robot that an alternate solution was found.

3 years later ... WOW ... that's a birds eye view :D

Of what? Had to guess once.
