Puzzle Description:

It's a baa graph

#1: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Feb 11, 2018 [HINT]

after ll/cl
el 3 r17 = c35-37 w
ll
el 2 18 = c36-37 w
ll
Since there are only 1s in c46, at least one of the 11s in r22 & r23 must be forced left into c35. Whichever one is forced left, c35r23 will be black.
ll (one pixel)

And at that I am thoroughly stuck for logic.
Oh, yes, it is perfectly obvious what the picture is, but going by that is guessing, not logic. Logically, there is always the possibility they put in a deformed ewe whether on purpose or not.

I am rating this as guessing needed, not so much because I am completely convinced that there is no deep-lookahead way to solve it, but because people have voted it into "line logic only". WHICH IT DEFINITELY IS NOT. If you ever get the choice box for determining solvability, it is almost certainly NOT line logic solvable.

Found to require some guessing by infrapinklizzard.

Thanks for fixing the puzzle. The lines even make it easier to (yawn) count the ....... sheep ... zzzzzzzzz

I realised the '1' was taller than the '2' and '3' and it was bothering me so I just shortened it - still solvable. Baa!
