okay Kai, then you get a NO vote :)

agreed, Tom

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

LOL I was wondering if someone would dare to do this.

thank for this non-entry

don't forget to check topic 257 to see the cathalog of all past wcp entry

same edge logic on the 6

I agree, not a good entry. Horrible quality, and even though edge logic does make it solvable (I gave it a 1 for difficulty in fact), it's not truly logically solvable without that method of trial and error.

so what you are saying is that edge logic is trial and error?
and that if a puzzle is not solvable with line logic alone then it is truly not logically solvable?
jan, gator, infrapinklizzard (and maybe a few others): have at it!
haha

i like puzzles with all logics being used

I'm surprised causing such a discussion by a puzzle that was planned as a joke!

exactly Kai, exactly

Thought it was fine....maybe not beautiful but solvable with very little guessing.

bugaboo, I like having edge logic in a puzzle. However, if that technique must be used in solving a puzzle, then to creators like those at Conceptis (I won't spam the Web site, but some may know it already), it's not a truly logically solvable puzzle. Applications programmed to solve this type of puzzle don't use edge logic in their solving processes because to a computer, it would be "guessing". We of course know better how the brain works.

From what I know on this site, logically solvable includes line, color, edge, two-way, summing, smile, and affirmation logic. Basically, just about anything is allowed as long as it is not looking more than two moves ahead to see a cell as filled in or blank.

Other sites do restrict puzzles to what we generally refer to as "line logic solvable" or "line/color logic solvable".

Different sites have different rules.

Yup, and I always considered puzzles where one must at one stage study an edge and extend in the mind from potentially filled cells to find an impossible situation as logically solvable, it's a valid logical step to me. If that makes sense, it did to me at least. (An edge can count as the middle of the puzzle if the neighbouring line is fully filled in, too.)

So if they had made it zigzag just the right way, I theorize that the weight could be distributed in just a way as to allow it to stop leaning. Well, it's too late now.

I don't think much of this one.
