So true. It is ridiculous and not fair to those who can't afford them.#2: Ga Hendrick (GaHendrick) on Nov 21, 2017 [HINT]
Good puzzle. I didn't guess the image until I finished the puzzle. I didn't find I need "look ahead"#3: robert svanberg (tango) on Nov 21, 2017
heh, heh. Didn't get it until almost finished. Such a sweet sound they make. As always Brian, love your work.#4: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Nov 21, 2017 [HINT]
I don't know how GA did it, but I did need to resort to lookahead. I used EL on C1 to narrow the 5 to be between Rows 9 and 15. That filled C1:R11-13. Then I continued with LL.#5: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Nov 21, 2017 [SPOILER]
Now that I'm done solving, I've got to say I love your sense of humor. That driver's head looks like it's meant to tee off a football! And imagine the crater-sized divots! Ha!#6: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Nov 22, 2017
I tried to make it so that the head of the driver is bigger than his own head.#7: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Nov 22, 2017

definitely requires edge logic, in the first 3 columns. :)#9: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Nov 22, 2017
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.#10: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Nov 22, 2017 [HINT]

el 4 r3 = c1-4, c12-20 w
ll
deep el 5 c1 (vs c3) = r18-20 w
ll to finish
They prefer the title "chauffeur".#12: BRASH ATAOM (BRASHatAOM) on Apr 17, 2023
I thought it would turn out he was walking a dog on a tight leash...#13: Yonah Kondor (yokon965) on Sep 10, 2023 [SPOILER]
Haha so true! I still use my grandfather's WOOD woods. They feel so much nicer. It's like driving an old Miata (which the answer always is, btw) vs a modern Nissan Leaf.
