Internal Edge Logic on the 10 in r24: if it were to cross the 2 of a 1|2|1, it would create a block of one in either r23 or r25, causing a conflict. So there is only one place the 10 can go.#3: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jun 7, 2019
Line Logic
EL 2 r19 = c9-10 w
LL to finish
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.#4: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jun 8, 2019 [SPOILER]

CB: I have used many T-squares. I even have a tiny drawing board that's about 12" square that I got from my grandfather. It has a wooden t-square, 30-60-90 triangle, and 45 degree triangle that all store underneath with the t-square sliding in to lock them in place.
I also have a drafting machine. These are great for doing isometric drawings. https://www.google.com/search?q=drafting+machine
Way to go, Phyllis!#13: Barry Watson (bwatson) on Jun 12, 2019

I Looooooooved this one...so fun to solve! I got the phrase wrong, but enjoyed the chew.#15: Donald Clysdale (don) on Dec 21, 2020 [SPOILER]
Other than the fact it is a block, not a top, "OTT" is standard British slang got "Over the Top", as in brilliant or fantastic.#16: BlackCat (BlackCat) on May 27, 2021
Don't know but it was a fun solve. Did guess twice.
