Puzzle Description:

Rhenium, element number 75, was named after the river Rhine. So I drew a river. I put the cloud in because I felt we needed something there.

It took a good bit of edge logic to finish, starting in C35

color/line logic for everything but the cloud
(by the way kristen edge logic in c35 only got me 2 dots but nothing else)

edge logic on the 3 clue in c5 got me a few dots but most importantly the dot in r6
that allowed me to do edge logic on the 6 clue in r6 which gives you a few more dots
edge logic on the 7 clue in r6 gives you a black pixel at c26
that pixel can now be used to use edge logic on the 7 in r6 all the way to the left as far as it can go knowing it must be in c26 (so c20-26) this lets you place 3 more black pixels (now you have c21-25 filled in black)

now try the 6 in r6 as far to the right as it could go (c19-24) and do edge logic (you can place 4 of that 6 into c15-18)

more line logic

stuck for now

Sorry, I did not realize I made it so hard. This was the first puzzle I made. I apologize for any headaches that may result.

Did you try to solve it before you published it? I had problems with that in some of my early puzzles. The computer said there was a unique solution, so I trusted it to mean a human being could figure it out, too. :)

No. I'll remember to do that form now on.
