This is an interesting solve.#2: Sarah Andrews (sarah) on Dec 15, 2010
It can be done using contradiction logic on 3 in c3 vs the 2s in either r2&r1 or r4&r5. In other words, it's smile logic -- twisted.
glad you made a block.#3: Sarah Andrews (sarah) on Dec 15, 2010
glad you made a block.#4: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Dec 15, 2010
That's the way I solved it Joe. Thank you for the entry.#5: Carol Brand (KarylAnn) on Dec 15, 2010
A tricky 5x5...nice job!#6: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Dec 15, 2010
does that mean you want mootpoint to throw it out too?#7: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Dec 15, 2010
haha
fun solve
Found to be logically solvable by Gator.#8: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Dec 15, 2010
Is it a cyclone? Ninja throwing star perhaps?#9: Linda Martin (ilovethispuzzle123) on Dec 16, 2010
very interesting. i like that it wasn't too easy, either.#10: Tony Jacobs (GTony) on Jan 30, 2011 [HINT]
I'd never seen twisted smile logic before. Cool! :D#11: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Apr 13, 2018

The first time I actually filled in column 3 with 3 black dots, because you can fill in row 3 that way, so I wondered "why the moderate lookahead?"
But of course when I retried I saw where I made the hasty jump.
An interesting pattern and solve. It seems like there should be finitely many 5x5 puzzles that can be interesting, especially ones that go beyond line logic, and I've solved enough I should've seen them all, but apparently I haven't quite yet. This leaves me confident I'll see something cool going forward at yet.
