Ah,he's so cute.
#3: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Apr 28, 2011
edge logic on the 8 in the bottom row gets the outline of the face finished
some dots in column 5 and a black pixel in row 23 via edge logic and then i was stuck
what did i miss?
very cute bear though

I got exactly as far as bugaboo, and no further.
#5: Jane Doe (telly) on May 3, 2011
very cute. I had to guess to solve.

I also used affirmation logic in column 5 to get more dots in column 6. No matter where you place the 2 clue in column 5, it causes a cell to be filled in column 6. This lets us dot the places where the cell will not be filled in.

But I'm stuck at this point, and there just doesn't seem to be a good way to tackle this. If any one sees a way forward (limited to looking 2 moves ahead), please post some details on how you did it. Thanks.

I made some changes and now it is solvable.

Current version requires no guessing. Thanks for changing it.

To finish nose and mouth, I've examined how the 10 on R23 interact with its neighbour rows. The the first black 2 on R24 was the key.

Found to be logically solvable by gator.

Nicely done, Iida. I like that it is not symmetrical. Thanks for making it solvable.
