Definitely logically solvable - and I agree with Liz, a very good example of smile logic to finish up the last couple areas.

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

Perhaps extended smile logic was not what I meant, Gator, because I didn't guess. I was talking about the baseball, which seemed a little more complicated than just a simple smile. For the other tricky part, I used the affirmation logic (I keep forgetting the name of that one).

That was not a terribly intricate example of affirmation logic, (sometimes I've gone a few moves ahead to find an opening, which feels more like trial and error than logic). but it makes me wonder: does the checker with the puzzle creator "understand" affirmation logic? I know that the purple logic doesn't see it.

No, the checker just understands if it is unique and secondly if it only requires line/color logic to solve. The checker doesn't know how to do smile, edge, contradiction, two-way, affirmation, or summing logic.

Whatever kind of logic it is called, it was lots of fun to solve. I had to laugh at Liz's interpretation, but I have to agree with her. :-D
