I'm short on time today, so this may not all be needed, but here's how I solved it: (line logic between paragraphs)

after easy ll/cl,

careful color logic on the blue 7 and 5 in c9 & c10

internal edge logic on the 4 in c3 makes r1-3 white
internal edge logic on the 3 in c3 makes r14 white

(after the blue 2 in c23 is color logicked)
edge logic on the 3 in r23 makes c25 white

edge logic on the 3 in r21 makes c12 white
(use cl on r22)

color logic on the blue 2 in c12 makes r6-7 blue
cl blue 5 in c25 and the 4 in c24 places them
cl 2 r8 makes c23-24 blue

edge logic on the black 2 in r16 makes c26-27 white
then ll finishes the rightmost four columns

edge logic on the 2 in c26 makes r10 white

edge logic on the black 4 in c24 makes r9 *not black* so r13 is black

then cl places the rest of the blue - only black left now.

two-way logic on the left black 2 in r12 makes r13c3 white (because of the 1 in r13)

Then line logic to finish.

I guess the first one didn't take...


Thanks, Norma and Jota.

Too much guessing.
#11: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Oct 12, 2016
Try to do less of it.

color logic only. nice.

This was very hard! But solved logically.
