Another one filled with color logic.


At the bottom is some edge logic that you must combine with color logic.

Other than that, just color logic, line logic and color logic.

Did I mention that you'll have to keep track of the colors?

wow
amazing solve
completely logical

Thanks, bugaboo. Now we just have to convince others...

This is a very good puzzle.
Looks like it has one solution and one way to solve it.
Good for you !

Thanks, nah. Each time I got stuck in solving it, I would add or subtract a pixel to extend from where I was. Only once did that open a new angle of attack.

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

Wow that took a long time to solve. Awesome puzzle Joe!
#8: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jun 9, 2010
Thanks, Gator. Another question mark defeated!

Wow - very tricky. I feel like have really accomplished something after finishing this one!
#10: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jun 9, 2010
Thanks. I must say I felt the same way after making it solve.

Oh my goodness. I had to come back to this one a few times, and once I got so bogged down with the color/edge logic at the bottom that I had to clear the board completely.

I love the challenge of your puzzles, and as a Star Wars geek from way back, the image is awesome!
#12: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jun 12, 2010
Thanks, Liz.

Definitely a lot of color logic. Sometimes on the multi-color ones, I find it useful to focus on one color and fence off the area that that color can be in (turning off or ignoring the error hints). On the puzzles I've done that with, I've usually been able to finish off that color, or at least all but a spot or two which require intervention by another color to determine.
I did that at least twice on this one, and only got so far before I had to clear out the fence and try something else.

very challenging, yet still logically solvable.

as for the picture, fine job drawing the craft at that angular perspective.

LOVED the solve!!!!! Really great puzzle. There are a few of you puzzle makers that I know that as soon as I see your name on a puzzle I know it is going to be a good one. You are definitely one of them! Thanks!

Thanks, Ailsa. I'm glad you like them! And it's nice to see an old one being commented on

Great puzzle! Challenging solve and nice image, though most of the way through I thought it would be a sailboat.
