After LL & careful CL leaves only a section of black and a separate section of red,#3: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Apr 3, 2019
EL 3 c1 = r20 white
LL
EL 4 c14 = r14, r21-22 w
LL finishes the black
Deep EL 6 r9 (vs r7) = c34-35 w
DEL 8 r8 (vs r6) = c34-35 w
Internal EL 8 r8 = c17-19 w
LL finishes the red
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.#4: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Apr 4, 2019 [HINT]
fun solve! cool pic too :)#5: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Apr 4, 2019 [HINT]
for the last bit of red, I did all using c35. Use el to dot r1. Iel dots r7-9. LL places the last 2 clue in r4. Having "1" clue in r3 means that at least one of the "3" clues in c's 34-35 must go downward, triggering the 4 clue in r5...LL solves out with nothing "deep" about it
Deep edge logic is not the same as deep lookahead. It just means using a line that is further away than the one right next to it.#6: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Apr 4, 2019
E.g. for my first red hint, it means:
Using edge logic on the 6 in row nine, (versus row seven instead of row eight) ...
aha! ok#7: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Apr 5, 2019
I think I usually call that "thick" or "fat" edge logic. I forget which descriptive I used.#8: derby (Derby) on Apr 5, 2019 [HINT]
Congratulations on the puzzles you have created and solved. This is an excellent puzzle. I had to do a little looking ahead although the bands of colour certainly helped in finding a starting point for some of the lines.#9: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Apr 5, 2019
I think Jan was the one who came up with "deep" as the descriptive. However, with "deep lookahead" now, I think it might be too confusing. Maybe I'll change my description to "Distant Edge Logic" to differentiate it, but still keeping the old abbreviation.#10: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Apr 5, 2019
Thanks, Derby!#11: Mike Ross (Mikey223) on Apr 11, 2019
It had me scratching for a long stretch of days. Very challenging and cool.#12: Teresa K (fasstar) on Apr 17, 2019
It took me several days to solve too. I was committed to not guessing and feel very satisfied for having stuck with the logic, which was challenging but fun.#13: Jane Butcher (jane-o) on Jun 15, 2019
That is so cool how the numbers line up that way.
Sweet! Thank you for all the hours I've spent solving your excellent puzzles.#14: Emily Brower (Emimonster) on Aug 17, 2019 [SPOILER]
