Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

holy mama, i think you might've looked a bit too hard at this one joe, haha. i'm with gator here, there was some cool 2-way logic, especially in R14/15 with the 6/4 clues, but i never looked more than 1-2 steps ahead. I guess it's possible I took a guess at a point where I thought I was placing logically though.. definitely a fun solve either way.

I agree with And and Gator. I did not have to look 3-4 steps ahead. Using edge logic after the initial steps resulted in 1 failed try and then it solved using the clues.
As a Trekkie I enjoyed this puzzle.

I always enjoy a Trekkie puzzle. Here's the background for those who are not familiar with Bele:

Yahoo, I did it without looking at the hints, I'm getting better at this solving, great puzzle Joe :)

Thanks, everyone.

I don't know why I never got back to answering this one. The two-way is definitely easier than my method.

I remember seeing this episode (as a re-run) as a small child, so I didn't understand the metaphor they were making. However, it may have instead been formative to my viewpoint.

I just started re-watching the 1960s Batman series, and thought the Riddler looked familiar (other than my memories of Batman, that is). A quick trip to IMDB, and I find out that he was the actor for Bele. "Ah," I thought, "that explains why Bele rang a bell when I was watching Star Trek a few years ago!"
