This was tricky. After I got stuck (about halfway through), I couldn't find anywhere to use edge logic. I finally found 2 places to use it. On both 2's in R6, you can place 1 black square each, and then it solved nicely. Thanks. What is on the upper left (between the pole and the bell)?

LOL, Tonia.

Robin, shortly after Pavlov's death, his theory of acquired characteristics was supposedly disproved. Recently the study of epigenetics has shown that feast or famine in one generation can alter how genes are expressed in subsequent generations. The PBS show NOVA ran a documentary last year on the new discovery that was quite fascinating. I just viewed the video shown by a fellow presenter at a genetics conference recently, and it was one of the best scientific documentaries I have ever seen. This video should be in everyone's home library. Read about it and view a preview of the video here:

Thanks for entry # 9 it's beautiful!

Thanks, Teresa, for that link.

LOL, Petra.

Adam, it's so interesting. Scientists are looking into alcohol as an epigenetic agent. We already know that babies exposed to alcohol in the womb "remember" the smell and are more likely to start drinking at an early age (proven by animal research), and predisposes them to alcohol abuse. We also see children whose parents did not drink but who had grandparents who drank heavily and the grandchildren have neurobehavioral symptoms similar to children exposed to alcohol in the womb.

Yes, Robyn. There are so many factors to consider when looking at neurobehavioral disorders. The three main factors are genetics, prenatal exposure to alcohol, and of course environment after birth. People with mental health issues are more likely to abuse alcohol. Many mental health disorders are inheritable. Too many children are having to cope with both inherited disorders PLUS a compromised central nervous system because of alcohol exposure.

Found to be logically solvable by jan.

that was a fun challenge. I've also enjoyed the comments.

made me hungry, Teresa

my grandfather whistled me to din din :)

fascinating topic, fun puzzle :-)

After LL,
All that's needed is one bit of edge logic:

EL 2 c19 = r6 w
