504 error...site is slooooow again today.#2: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Dec 2, 2012
not sure what song you had in mind, but I bet you can guess the band in my latest in less than a sec...
this is extraordinarily tough for a 15x15.... r14c15 must be a dot, or you'll get a contradiction in the bottom of c14. solves with ll from there
yeppers, Kurt :)#3: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Dec 3, 2012 [SPOILER]
I can't think of any old songs about "My limbs are disjointed and I have a dingleberry." Is there a song about "Never trust a fart"? Maybe "Just a Squirt"?#4: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Dec 3, 2012
I may be overthinking that one pixel. :)
can't tell yet Kristen and yes you are over thinking that one pixel#5: eset (eset) on Dec 3, 2012 [SPOILER]

nope Eset....its an, very popular, old country song#7: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Dec 4, 2012 [HINT]
Kurt - I agree with the pixel in r14 - I got it with internal edge logic on r14's 5. However, there is still much advanced logic to go. Mostly edge logic of various flavors.#8: Tom King (sgusa) on Dec 4, 2012 [HINT]
I did all the edge logic first, then dotted 14c15 and it solved out with line logic. Fun puzzle, Tom#9: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Dec 4, 2012
you're right, Joe...like Tom, I used el early. just mentioned the part that got me stuck for a bit... I prob already had some dots and blacks that made it solve with ll after...#10: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Dec 5, 2012
thx Tom#11: Teresa K (fasstar) on Dec 5, 2012
Too funny, Kristen. :-)#12: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Dec 5, 2012
can't believe you don't get it T#13: Teresa K (fasstar) on Dec 5, 2012 [SPOILER]
I can't believe that you can't believe I don't get it. :-D#14: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Dec 6, 2012

nopers T.... It's an OLD song by a country singer. :)#15: Ellen Vollor (evollor) on Dec 6, 2012 [SPOILER]
however, a great guess
What about, I Fall to Pieces, by Patsy Cline? She and Hank Williams are about as far back as my knowledge of country music goes.#16: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Dec 6, 2012 [SPOILER]
yeppers Ellen :) was in 1959#17: Jota (jota) on Dec 6, 2012
Every bit of you my friend!#18: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Dec 7, 2012

It's obvious, now that I know the answer :)#19: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Dec 7, 2012
thx Jota for link...and welcome back. Did you have fun?#20: Jota (jota) on Dec 7, 2012
Yes! Thanks!#21: Ellen Vollor (evollor) on Dec 8, 2012
So, this is the first time that I have won "absolutely nothing". Congrats to me.#22: Gator (gator) on Apr 25, 2017 [HINT]
After some line logic, look at where the 4 can go in R15. No matter where it is placed (and it can't go in some places without making R14 invalid), R14C2-3 will always be black.#23: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Apr 25, 2017
Look at R1 and you will see most of it can be dotted with edge logic. R1C1-5 and R1C12-15 will be dotted. LL
Do the same edge logic with R2. R2C1-4 and R2C13-15 will be dotted. LL to finish.
Nice puzzle.
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.#24: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Apr 26, 2017
thx Gator
