What is an illegal entry?
#14: Jota (jota) on Jul 25, 2014
On the left tabs, see HONORS and it will explain about a contest called WCP, since the Judges are not allowed to participate, when we do we call it Illegal.
#15: Vicki Woods (vickicwoods) on Jul 28, 2014
Ohhh. Thanks. I always wondered.
#16: Jota (jota) on Jul 28, 2014
You are welcome Vicki!

This is a really interesting line-logic solve, as the built-in hints (which I use a lot to expedite things) conk out pretty quickly.

It's probably easier to get going with edge logic on row 1.

But you can also fill in row 15 and note row column 3/18 have dots in them, meaning row 17 has dots there too. The rest is pretty clear line logic.

Also thanks for the illegal entry explanation. Maybe I'd read it before and forgot, but in any case, I'm sort of glad someone else asked!

Thanks Andrew!

Thanks for the hint Andrew, that was a nicely tricky bit of line logic.
