This is a very difficult puzzle, unless I'm doing it wrong.#2: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on May 30, 2010 [HINT]
There is a *lot* of color logic and edge logic using color logic. There is internal edge logic. There is praying and hoping for the next pixel.
If you don't like that, please pick another puzzle.
Following is all I can specifically remember, but there was plenty more color logic in between.#3: Liz P (Lizteach) on May 31, 2010 [HINT] [SPOILER]
One place to get going: color logic on the red 2 in c3.
Also, edge logic on the 5 in r30 which will narrow it to 2 places; color logic will show which is correct.
Far along, look at rows 15-18. The black 4s are separated by a red median in the column clues.
Also, I needed to do edge logic on the right black 1 in r10.

excellent solve#6: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on May 31, 2010
completely logical
no guessing
it looks like an ostrich complete with beak and all
Thanks bugaboo. Took three rounds of editing to make it so.#7: Susan Duncan (medic25733) on Jun 1, 2010
I love the finished puzzle even though I had to guess quite a bit. My edge logic is not very strong yet.#8: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jun 1, 2010
Thanks.#9: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jun 2, 2010
If you want to give your edge logic a workout, try Gator's puzzles. Many of them won't even start without it. However, you definitely know that's what you should be doing...
(Not his new "LLS" puzzles, though.)
Found to be logically solvable by Gator.#10: Gator (Gator) on Jun 2, 2010
Wow, that was really tough. Thanks Joe!#11: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jun 2, 2010
Thanks, Gator. It's nice to be rid of that question mark.#12: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jun 11, 2010 [HINT]
Wow. Great puzzle. Really tricky to solve.#13: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jun 11, 2010
What helped me when I got stuck was to look at C5 - in the gap between the 8 and the 5, at least one of those has to be marked as a dot, which shows where part of the 7 in C1 will go. Then marking the dots in C1 where the 7 cannot go really helped a lot.
Thanks, Teresa. I think you're caught up with my puzzles now. I guess I'll have to make more.#14: Jota (jota) on Jan 25, 2011
I LOVE IT!!! Thanks!#15: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Oct 17, 2018
At the beginning I had solved most the upper 4 columns and 4 rows I get kept seeing the "Red Baron".
Fun! I kept thinking of a "Honey Do" list#16: besmirched tea (Besmirched Tea) on Nov 26, 2020 [SPOILER]
