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#4: Rebecca Cary (rec3) on Apr 29, 2011
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.#6: Gator (Gator) on May 9, 2011 [HINT]
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.#7: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jun 19, 2011
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.#10: Avgvstvs (Avgvstvs) on Jun 20, 2011 [HINT]
Current version requires no guessing. Thanks for changing it.#11: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jun 27, 2011
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.#12: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jul 7, 2011
Nicely done, Iida. I like that it is not symmetrical. Thanks for making it solvable.
