Not so quick and easy.

Thirteen black pixels can be placed with line logic.

Then you need to do color logic on the red 4 in r21 to get going.

...

If you're still stuck, look at c10

...


(The red 4 can be placed completely if you notice that c10 has a block of 2 black just above it. There must be a black 1 under that, so c10r21 must not be red.)

Then some more color logic.

great solve
i always look forward to infrapinklizard puzzles because they are challenging
usually have a great image
are logically solvable

it kept looking like a bowtie especially based on the title

Thanks, Wombat. Every time I see your name, I am reminded of my old cat, Wombat. (I believe you've been introduced.) She had many nicknames. She could be quite imperious at times and might be referred to as Wombatron. I actually had to go back and make sure I hadn't referred to you as Wombiter, a common appellation for her.

maceraseven: I actually enjoy puzzles that produce brain-spaghetti.

"Wombiter" is one of the better variations I've heard. :)

Thanks. This was the one on the left of Darth Vader. ;)

excellent, it can be solved by logic only.

Thanks, Vaggelis.

It's only logical to try all of them: http://webpbn.com/find.cgi?search=1&author=infrapinklizzard
