Puzzle Description:

Sign language for Y

I tried working on this one for a few months on and off and I cannot find a good way to get to a logical solution.

Found to require some guessing by Gator.

Hey Gator, can you modify this to moderate lookahead? I was able to solve it with a few instances of edge logic, particularly the 7 in C1 and the 4 in R1.

I like that Y is the same as the surfing gesture for "hang loose" :)

I'm going to need some more details on what you did with your edge logic. With the 7 clue I can get 6 of the 7 cells black (and R9C2 black with two-way logic). But I just get a couple of dots with the 4 clue.

Comparing the clues both ways, C1 has a 7 and C2 has a 1 and a 2. There's a 5 in R2 to attach to the 1 in C2, plus a 2 in R8 to attach to the 2 in C2, with 1s in between.
