edge logic 8 c25 = r1-7 must be white#3: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jul 13, 2017
LL
el 8 c25 = r17-19 white
LL
el 2 c18 = r26-29 white
pseudo-smile logic - because of all the crossing 1s, no matter where the 7s in rows 28&29 go, the 2 in r28 will make r28c2 blue.
LL
el 6 c19 = r14-23 white
LL
el 5 c17 = r3-5 wh
LL
two-way logic 2 r16: no matter which way it goes, r17c7-9 and r17c17-18 must be white.
el 2 r18 = c7-8 wh
LL to finish
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.#4: Mary Abrams (tntmary) on Jul 14, 2017
Love the picture#5: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jul 14, 2017
Beautiful image. Interesting film. Awesome solve. I made it through several steps of EL and bottom three rows (that was cool). But then I made a mistake, which helped me through the rest. I love how the image popped. Not what I expected. :-)#6: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jul 14, 2017
Lovely! I guessed a good bit to get started, then used a bunch of 2-way logic after that.#7: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jul 14, 2017
Very nice. I made a couple of guesses and made some lucky mistakes that caused the red dot to appear and gave clues.#8: Kathy Roth (clyde) on Jul 15, 2017
This one helped me force myself to use logic and not guess. I'm just getting to the point where I can use logic on the ones with a lot of small numbers.#9: Michael A Rodgers (marodgers) on Aug 7, 2017
Great image. I got lazy and when I got to the point where I knew where the points were, I just put them in rather then prove it first.#10: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Aug 11, 2017
Sigh.#11: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Apr 6, 2018
Couldn't even get it started without guessing.#12: Vaggelis Kamaris (evag7651) on Apr 17, 2018
Found to be solvable#13: RB (rb2013) on Jul 16, 2018 [HINT]
Great EL solve! At least the first three consecutive parts of the solving required EL.#14: derby (Derby) on Mar 26, 2019 [HINT]
The picture is also designed fantastically, probably with the least possible number of coloured pixels.
Solveable with what I call pattern logic. Looking at the patterns of threes will assist In solving two of the lines, fun puzzle.#15: Ailsa Hebert (bazette3) on Sep 24, 2022
Enjoyed the solve....took me a while to get a couple of starting points....but then that's the fun of it. Thanks for a good puzzle!
